Spring...wonderful !


We've been enjoying our first couple of warm, Spring days . Snowdrops and crocuses are growing in the garden. It's wonderful !


I have been painting these wooden hens, Jan kindly cut out the wooden triangular shapes, and I have painted them. They are for a Spring / Easter market that is coming up soon.






Bought some mini daffs and tulips, have been doing some colourful acrylic sketches from them.





Went for a healthy walk with a friend today while our daughters were at their dance class. We walked straight into a cafe though ! Woops! We ate a cream bun each called "Semla" and then felt very slightly guilty afterwards !
Don't tell anyone !!

Glad the weather is warming up for you. We have just had another cold snap the last couple of days but the sun is shining again. The colours in you painintgs are so lovely and bright. The chickens look great too, hope you sell lots.

Hello Ellie, I browsed through your blog and I found your paintings so charming! Especially the swedish winter windows!They are great!!! Wonderful little watercolours!(I'm a kind of "christmassy" person and I find them soooooo nice!) You should frame them and every wintertime, when you see another beautiful window, do another painting and collect them all!
Kind regards from
Claudia
