 Thumb of "Autumn from Above" inspired by the grand views of the village of Collyweston. My third painting for the City Gallery art exhibition was inspired by autumnal views from Collyweston. I adore this village—ancient stones, grand houses, quaint cottages, and the best scenic views.

We visited Belvoir Castle this past weekend. It quickly became a family favorite. The home is so lovely and who doesn't love visiting a film set? (Portions of The Crown was filmed here!) We always end up with an arm load of future presents for the girls, goodies for a delicious meal, and one-of-a-kind loose leaf tea from the Engine Yard. As we drove into the car park, there is a rolling view of the fields below the castle that are magnificent. In an artist daze, I wandered towards the view, snapping photos.  The first ultramarine layer applied to create the basic shadows and skeleton of the painting.
A sunrise and sunset landscape duo will be entered into the Peterborough City Gallery exhibition. I love watching the watercolor washes interact. New colors emerge and shapes are defined by saturation and transparency. One more painting to make for the exhibition and then will be submitting the last week of October. Exciting!
I received a lovely note yesterday and it absolutely made me joyous. The connections I make with each Collector is very important to me. Over the last few months, people from all over have written me an email and it really warms my heart. A huge thank you to all of you! I just wanted to thank you for sending your beautiful artwork so quickly and for packaging it so carefully. We truly adore both of the prints and are so looking forward to hanging them in our home (I’m working on the framing). Your artwork is amazing and you are so very talented. I am thrilled that you’re finding a way to pursue your passion—it looks like it’s really working for you!  "Red Door Cottage" giclée print |
