Nuts and seeds

Mother Nature's alchemy.
Found in a pot under a honeysuckle bush.
My interest is in the layering of composition and changing colours as the transformational
process takes place

Honeysuckle in July

Louis  (2003 - 2015)



Last month, our friend and sometimes walking companion Louis passed on to the Happy Hunting Ground.
We will miss his good natured company and boundless energy.
Maybe he now chases rabbits in another dimension!

Wild Strawberries

Wild strawberries  -  Rose  -  Perennial sweet peas ....... yesterday ........

On an easel behind me, my unfinished painting is reflected in the background mirror.

This morning I notice something has been munching the rose petals.
My first thought is mice, as they sometimes find their way into the studio
............ but there is no evidence.

Under a petal I find the culprit ....... a brown beetle.
I can't remember it's name but I know it is especially destructive for pot plants.
It's now getting on with life outdoors!
