- Nettle velouté with petit pois pesto. June 6, 2013Unimaginable that nettle soup can be delicious and yet, it is! Once cooked, the stinging effect disappears completely and all that is left, is a dark green, flavorful soup. Stinging nettle grows everywhere, the sign of fertile soil, and costs nothing. So why not make use of it? It reminds me somewhat of watercress, of […]

- Laundry day.. June 5, 2013Whether we love it or hate it, it needs to be done. Laundry. Washing. Some of us are lucky enough to just fill the laundry basket and someone else does the washing. And the ironing. Some of us do it all ourselves. I am one of those. Partly by choice and partly by force. Laundry […]
Postcard from my walk
- Flynn's Beach Rocks from Liz May 24, 2013Our postcard project this year seems to be spluttering along a bit erratically, but to see a colourful rectangle in the postbox is always a thrill. This time it was one of Liz's wonderful rock-and-beach scenes from her recent holiday at Port Macquarie (fairly recent, as I've taken a while to get to posting this!) I had been thoroughly enjoying see […]

- May Flowers June 4, 2013May almost swept passed me in a blur of rain, rain and more rain; budding green leaves bursting in translucent glazes of green; azaleas and hydrangeas dressed in lavender blue, hot pink to coral; birds flocking to seed filled feeders eager to quench their youngs' budding appetites; stagnant winter lawns overnight sprouting to the height of pasture grass […]

I uploaded these three photos and gave my post a title, and looked back to find a link on my blog for the quilt I did in another colourway...and found it has the same three shots and title...how boring and predictable! Oh well, here it is, the little quilt I've been doing off and on […]

- The World Looks so Different Today May 14, 2013We had the loveliest West Coast weather here. On a bright and warm star-filled Saturday morning, my darling husband passed away peacefully in his own bed with three of his family around him. There is not a hand book or guide for these things, they happen and you are stunned.I will love him always: Philip was my best friend for 50 years and my husband for 47. […]

I like to work this way because of my design background and love of color, but when there's nothing else going for it, when t […]

I walked the path for about an hour, sketching about every 20 or 30 minuets. This one is with the ocean behind me facing north/east.

- A Front Cover May 24, 2013I can't believe my painting's on the front cover of The MacLaurin Gallery magazine . It seems unreal, that it's someone else. It's because of a new venture, a wall featuring local artists. This, however, does feel real - three of my four granddaughters and their doting Grandma!

We are doing old glass & stone jars and bottles, with a tiny lustrous Satsuma porcelain dish tossed in. All collected over the years and all with a story. The colours needed to be soft and translucent and pick up the touches of reflected colour nearby. The stone bottles […]

I just love your paintings! I’ve been spending about half an hour looking through all of these–you have a wonderful style! Beautiful! I’ll have to bookmark these!

I’ve really enjoyed ogling your nature paintings this morning–I stumbled here via quotidian curiosities–and have been completely entranced by your vibrant palette and loose, sketchy style. It’s such a simple thing to paint, and photograph, and post, but thank you for your work–it’s a real inspiration! victoria

Your work speaks to my heart. <3
