This is a tiny artist card. Its size only 2 x 3 inches. I love this art form for its immediacy. In watercolour I prefer the smaller sizes. I don't know why but I have a kind of phobia of the large formates. It's difficult to explain. I have a feeling that the painting should be as significant as the size of it but my themes often don't qualify or rather I perceive them this way. I know it's a bit irrational. I guess I should make myself to face this fear more and to get used to the bigger sizes. Well it's the goal for the future and in the mean time I love painting this kind of bijou.

First summer day by the Ham pond
Evening Calm by the Sea
This is one of the sea scenes I absolutely love. Come back to it again and again. This is a stretch of the beach down in Sussex. The sea has gone away and left the bare, rocky, wet sand behind. I think watercolour is just the medium for such a fluid, illusive conditions.
Visited the Living Craft fair in Hatfield House today. Bought some exciting new brushes. Can't wait to try them out!

River Thames in progress
I have missed several latest sessions with my Ham Art Group. We usually meet in the St. Thomas Aquinas church in Ham on Wednesdays and paint together. I love it. I usually am at my most productive there. So this Wednesday I finally made time to go there again and have started this watercolour of the river Thames. I hope to tweak it a tad more tomorrow.
