Painting

0 min read

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the kind feedback for my painting over the past few months. For years (decades!) I always made a new years resolution to start painting but never stuck with it. But in 2017 I finally did (about bloody time!). And now I am kinda obsessed! I'm trying to paint most days and just want to get better and better. I still have soooo much to learn and it is very frustrating having so many ideas, so many things I want to paint, but I'm not yet good enough to paint them.

A Video of my Garden...

0 min read

For those of you who enjoy my garden photos (and your comments are always appreciated) I have made an up to date video of my garden. It is filmed with my Nikon camera so isn't the best quality but it gives you an idea of the layout. It was completely lawn five ish years ago and has evolved over those years.

Remembering your kindness in making a favorite of my attempt to make a computer generated maze, I thought you may be interested in an article about mazes in this week's New Yorker magazine. It's titled "The Garden of Forking Paths", and it is written by Nicola Twilley. The subtitle is "How the world's foremost maze-maker leads people astray".

Thanks again.
