I must be having fun, as the saying goes, because time has certainly been flying!

It’s hard to believe that it’s half way through September already. 

First of all let me thank all of you who travelled to Sparta to see my work at Gathered Gallery. It was fun chatting with you.

Autumn is my favourite season as I have likely shared several times before. Even though the days are still quite warm the fragrance of autumn is in the air of our garden in the mornings. It is accompanied by the perfume of the Sweet Autumn Clematis which has done very well this year.

It is time once again to take cuttings, let the amaryllis bulbs go dormant, plant bulbs and collect seed. Lots of opportunities for ther coming year. Hope springs eternal at this time of year as I prepare for next year’s garden.

This season also brings many opportunities in the art world.

The Woodstock Art Gallery’s Visual Elements 66 is on until September 21st. Brian and I enjoyed seeing the terrific art in this exhibition and also enjoyed chatting with Danielle Hoevenaars, who you may know from Westland Gallery, and who is now the Head of Collections at Woodstock Art Gallery.

On Sunday September 22, the first Annual Main Street Arts Festival is taking place in Bayfield. Many wonderful events and activities are planned as well as several galleries to visit. At this time of year it is a beautiful drive to Bayfield from London.

I will be teaching art classes at Westland Gallery on Tuesday evenings in October. The classes are designed for those with some experience painting in watercolour and will not be suitable for beginners.

Sadly there has been virtually no progress on the restoration of my studio after the flood.  

Take care. Enjoy this fabulous season. Thanks for your ongoing interest and support.
