Plants, Paint, Purple..

 Hello everyone, 

Completion on my Mother in Laws house sale draws closer but 

I'm still juggling time between houses, there's honestly not 

much creative time. I strive but more than most struggle 

to create anything other than in my traveling junk diary. 

Nature is always inspiring and at present I have the best of 

both gardens, documenting in snap shots how everything thrives.

My Sempervivum's continue to have babies (hen's and chicks) 

can you spot the common blue who has come to visit? 

Documented in watercolour and gouache in my Junk Diary..

My MIL's Purple Rhododendren has flowered like never before..

This bush is over forty years old and stands 7 feet tall 

does that it makes it a tree? It's really showing off this 

year with a magnificent display. I hope the new home owners 

take good care of her.. If I could uproot her I really would..

reminder to get that hair appointment booked

finishing with a photo of Freya supporting her recent Grandma cut 😁

Wishing you all a safe & creative weekend

I hope they'll survive the frosts as the temperature is set to plummet.

Hello PUMPKIN...

 Hello Pumpkin 😊

Halloween season is upon us it's everywhere in the shops, 

I love the display of different pumpkins available and have spent 

many hours carving out pumpkin faces with the children in the past. 

I've a spooky Halloween inspired journal page today 

for my Favourite colour is October @ Art Journal Journey. 

A painted background with a stamped and coloured Manor house. 

The full moon illuminates my oversized drawn and painted plump 

pumpkin that greets you at the foot of the winding garden path.. 

If you look long enough at the open Manor house window 

you can almost imagine an eerie shadow staring out at you. 

Amazing how the mind can play tricks on us... 

Stay safe and creative everyone 

Hugs Tracey xx
