Riffing on variations in capturing the lovely pinks I was given by a kind friend for my birthday. Just love the way they work in that blue bottle vase.

Small abstract landscape, acrylic ink on texture paste on paper. From today’s studio session. Think I captured the atmosphere I was aiming for with quiet spaces contrasting with the deeper landscape tones.

New floral abstract inspired by the fabulous tulips in my garden. Tulips always remind me of fabulous ballroom gowns, or the plumage of tropical birds. Not a combination of colours I’d normally embrace, but if it’s good enough for my crazy tulips…
