Early spring in my garden

These are a few photos I made a week or so ago of my back garden as spring has finally decided to come after a severe winter.  I may add some more as flowers and leaves continue appearing. It is a somewhat rustic informal garden with no lawn and gravel paths but I love it.

By the way, I put some of my pastel paintings into the Artists Society's Spring Exhibition last weekend, and sold one - the shearing shed (see a recent post).  I'm adding the others into the Cranleigh Art Exhibition (supports the special school) on 19-21 October.  Finding space for storing framed paintings at home is a  problem.


 

Tapestry flower abstract

It is a long time since I posted anything but finally I am recovering well from my hip replacement and getting back to normal activities.....  still lots of rehab. though so I can stop limping!

This tapestry weaving is not one of my best but it has been on the loom for about a year and I just had to finish it!  The surface is too irregular in places but since I was no longer working for assignments I didn't undo sections when the tension needed changing ....  I should have.  I made the design a couple of years ago when I used a photo of a crowea plant (Australian native) and applied a Photoshop filter to it.  I quite liked it so decided to weave it - 42 x 27 cm size.
