W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm
I think we have an icy winter ahead of us. We've had a lot of rain and already some of my plants are showing signs of frost-bite.

A farm gate
W&N watercolour and ink sketch on Bockingford 300gsm
I just cannot drive or walk past a farm gate or fence without stopping to photograph or sketch it! And I'm especially partial to barbed wire fences! This is a farm gate on a friend’s smallholding in Tarlton (Gauteng, South Africa)

Small paintings in a sketch-book
Just taking a break from all the sales talk! I have this small, hand-made little sketch-book with satin-finish linen paper, which is exquisite to paint in. The paint takes on a life all of it's own when it his the paper and the outcome is always unexpected! But it is very unforgiving, doesn't take well to pencil or ink and cannot erase on it at all. So whatever gets put down, that's it! But I just love churning out these small little 7"x5" paintings!
