Garlic time

Comments

I like this very much. the subtle pink/crimson is the perfect shade and youve captured the stringy foliage as well. Nice. (Oh, and I like the smell of garlic).

Beautifully done and such wonderfully subtle colours. Sorry you are poorly - having had shingles I know what you are going through.

You poor thing, shingles! dreadful. A brilliant way to distract you, at least one good thing came out of it!! Get well soon.

This is so beautifully done, Sue. It's really so classically elegant. I hope you feel better soon!

A really good painting, Sue. I spent a week with Ann Swan at Dedham Hall. Her work is superb and so is this.

I drew this small picture (14 x 16 cm ) to distract myself from my shingles.An exercise adapted from Ann Swan's book, using coloured pencils,softened and blended with solvent then drawn over with fine pencil. I enjoyed this work and will try it again, but without the pungent smell of newly dug garlic next time.
