Sketchbook paintingMy weeks are so busy but I am trying to keep up with reading some of your blogs and comment where I can. I have noticed a few NEW Friends following both this blog and my other art blog but can not seem to get a link through to their own blogs. I would visit if I could to thank you for following me. If you are new to my blogs please leave a comment so I can return the compliment.
The painting above of the bowl of Spring flowers is by Winifred Nicholson. Hubby bought me this book for Christmas and I have finished reading it. It is a lovely book full of excellent photographs of her beautiful paintings.
I am now reading an old secondhand copy of Hovel in the hills by Elizabeth West and also dipping into A Countrywoman's notes which is a gem of a book.
that painting is beautiful - especially the shadow.
