What do you think of these watercolour paintings?
Back later, we are putting some flooring down in the hallway.

Well, the hall floor is nearly finished, just a couple of things to do to complete it. Hubby and Sophie have just gone to B&Q to get some beading to go round the edge where the floor is not quite square and there are gaps.

Last Sunday I planted some polyanthus and it has done nothing but rain ever since, so sorry folks I think it is my fault that there rain has been ceaseless this week.

As for the paintings above, well I painted them! Shocked yes? We have various sessions that we could sign up for at school and I wanted to see how this media could be used in the classroom. I already use it for designing but you never know. I had no idea what I would be asked to do and when we were shown the examples I thought the chap leading the session was a bit over optimistic but they turned out better than I thought. I have experience in fashion illustration, but to try and paint a landscape was completely new to me. They actually look better here than in the flesh really but here you can see what they look like before I cropped them to frame better to neaten them up. Surprising how it made such a difference.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. PS. It seems very quiet in Blog land at the moment. Have you noticed it too?
