As I walked back into town through the Castle Grounds yesterday after a brutal session of physiotherapy ,I was entranced by the colour of the autumn leaves against the grey tarmac…I decided to listen to the child within and had a happy time collecting them. I felt a bit foolish as I bumbled along with my crutch but I had a marvellous fist full by the time I reached the bridge. There I met a man who was rather sheepishly feeding the ducks…. We shared a moment of delight. I came home and monoprinted.. quite how I will take this work forward is still a mystery… but I think I might return to some silk painting….I haven’t done this for some time but these patterns and colours are crying out to be made into a textile piece……what do you think?
