Painting Outside

 The Lettuce Thief, Pashley Manor  June 26th 2012
watercolour with  green ink by Tessa Spanton

Today I put some finishing touches to a couple of paintings. Both were painted on location outside on beautiful sunny days last year. Just looking at them reminded me of being in those places in the warmth, so different from the grey and cold weather today.

The painting below was done  a bit at a time after breakfast over several days. This is where I had my breakfast some mornings.
