Ageing Arteries

Comments

Not surprised your GP wanted something a bit more cheerful Sunil, haha. It certainly brings home a few truths about looking after one's body. Oh dear, I shouldn't have had that Take-Away for dinner!! I thought the colours and design were quite attractive 'til I read what it was!! Anyway, thank you so much for your comment on my Cottage Garden flowers. I have always drawn, painted and embroidered flowers, but not had any formal tuition, just feel my way along. By the looks of your gallery you do not need any tips from me Sunil. Great gallery. The best thing I can say is, paint from life and don't be afraid to use vibrant colour for your flowers. Thanks again Sunil for your interest. Best wishes, Carole.

My GP did not fancy it in his surgery; he preferred a country scene as agift instead.

Landscapes convey peace, tranquility and considerable warmth. I often use…
