54 years ago my sister posted me these roses inside a hollowed out loaf of bread. They arrived next day perfectly fresh. I painted them to please her. And took it from there ........

I was at a business meeting where the other side were politely nasty in order to gain an edge, rattled and out of my depth I painted these the next day, and sold them.

Such a response to these flowers, there are 162 more in the plan chest where they’ve been for years. I’ll post one each Tuesday till the virus eases off, like a floral de-mob chart.

These plants muscled their way into the garden without invitation and won’t be shifted, especially the bluebells.

It’s quite difficult to get movement into a static subject but lupins give this little study a bit of a twirl.

I’m posting this merely as a curiosity. They are medallion style designs for the china powder bowls that Worcester Porcelain used to make. The point being, I painted them by hand with a pin sharp focus and excellent eyesight which has blurred with age.

If you are making a rhubarb pie today may I suggest making two and giving one to an elderly neighbour? This has just happened to us, and after a rocky patch the very sight and scent of our pie has lit up the day, people are so kind, just adding the custard.
