Recently back from a holiday in France. We were staying in a friend’s house in a little town near Limoges in rural France.The countryside is very like England. It was about 2 weeks ahead so the blossom was still on the trees and the fields were covered in wild flowers. I was hoping to paint outside but unfortunately the weather was very cold and wet. However, I picked bunches of wild flowers and took them to the house and painted them. There was a wood-burning stove so Graham wrote while I painted! Here is one of my sketches.
