Gardening and painting
Painting:
I came to painting relatively late in life (aged 47) and I still suffer from imposter syndrome. When a painting goes badly, it makes me weep - but when it goes well, I feel alive! Every two years I take part in the Wylye Valley Art Trail, which is a fantastic opportunity for artists to show their work. Next year it's running from April 29th to May 7th so if anyone in is in this part of the world, (West Wiltshire), you would be very welcome come and see my paintings and those of the two artists with whom I exhibit. Or you can see mine by clicking on the link below:

Gardening:
I find gardening uncannily similar to painting - except there are several other people holding the brush as well as me - nature, weather, or the inclinations of the plant itself! Eight years ago our garden was 'a blank canvas' but now it's good enough to open for the National Garden Scheme. Getting to that stage has been huge fun - and quite hard work!
In 2023 we will be opening for the National Garden Scheme on June 11th. You can see some photos of what our garden looks like in early June by clicking on the link below:
