On to the Next Project

now that my series is done I’m ready to go back to painting on canvas

Similar to what I’ve done in the past but I added a new twist. I think I’m close to calling this one done. Now for a name…..Who’s Watching? Garden Eyes Watching Over the Garden

12″ x 12″ on stretch canvas, mixed media

….for Macro Monday and Texture Tuesday

On my most recent trip to the conservatory I was pleased to find a whole new display of beautiful seasonal blooms and decorated trees.

A Walk Through the Conservatory

…thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squareshttps://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/30/walking-squares-30/

This is the last day for the Walking Squares Challenge. I needed a pick me up because it was lashing down rain for a good part of the day. I took a quick trip over to the Centennial Park Conservatory hoping to see the Christmas displays. Unfortunately they won’t be ready till December 9th. I did, however, enjoy a stroll through the main greenhouses.

Pops of Colour After the Leaves are Down – November 14, 2022

….thanks to Becky B. for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/14/walking-squares-14/

There are still a few flowers that sneak through the decaying foliage and berries add a welcome burst of colour.
