I am a third of the way through my #100daysproject of painting 100 things growing in my garden.
Any sustained effort on a project has highs and lows; I have had days of lag and disinterest, days where time is just too short and I fall behind and days of joy and peace found painting in quiet spots.
Mostly it’s been a good discipline. A bit too time consuming on some days.
But I’m loving having a little book recording my garden growing.
And above all it’s forced me to identify and name all the plants I’m recording which has been very enlightening and informative.
On with the next!

A truly beautiful record of the gorgeous plants in your garden, watching what springs up each day … I love watching what you are going to paint….at the time its sometimes a rush or a little peaceful made space to be creative and no time to see what you’ve done, so its great to have come a third of the way and see your 100 paintings mounting up.together …very well done so far….love them….as the old saying goes, keep calm and carry on! Thank you for sharing XXX

Thanks Pat – it is a fun thing to make me look closely at what’s growing (and what maybe shouldn’t be!)- I shall plod on happily 🙂
