Lovely garden rose today. I have returned from a week-end course in a residential college not far from here. My car has been parked under the glorious rose bush I couldn't resist the temptation to snatch one of the flowers and here it is in watercolour.

Today another sea view. Sunset which I am rather proud of. I had a great fun painting this picture and I hope it shows.
Richmond bridge is in the heart of Richmond-upon-Thames and offers some exceptional views on Thames in both directions. This view is of the floating restaurant. It is fiddly to paint but I like the outcome so I think it was worth sweating over it.
Today's piece is another of my recent Bournemouth impressions. My daughter's fascination with the sea always gives me a nice foreground. It was nearly dusk then with those lovely blue shadows everywhere. I hope I managed to covey some of that evening's beauty here.
This morning I have finished a Hurst Castle watercolour. We went there with my daughter during her Easter Break and I thought the views were breathtaking. There will be more images of the British southern coast to follow.
