Autumn woollies

Now that autumn has definitely arrived, I've started to pick up my knitting again. I've finished this really soft, light and warm scarf in Rowan Kidsilk Haze, a very luxurious yarn, and it's in my Etsy shop now, at http://www.etsy.com/listing/84905696/scarf-knitted-kid-mohair-and-silk-scarf

Windswept flames

After making my autumnal treasury, I painted this impression of a hillside bonfire with windswept flames. It's an acrylic painting, 8 x 10 inches, on canvas board, and I used acrylic texture medium to give a rough and scratched surface. You can see this painting at http://www.etsy.com/listing/81292849/windswept-flame-autumn-bonfire-original

Sun and shade in the park

Here's my latest acrylic painting - a view looking down into the shadowy river valley in the park in Matlock. It was a rather misty day and sunlight was just beginning to catch the few autumn leaves that are left, making them look like cobwebs against the shade.

Work in progress - orchard

My current painting - a view of the orchard at the bottom of the kitchen garden at Chatsworth. I'll be adding it to my etsy shop soon but there are changes to be made to the shadows and background yet. This was a lovely autumn day. No apples are visible - they'd been picked (a couple by us on earlier visits). These little trees are all old types of apple trees. This is also a good place to look for shaggy inkcap toadstools. (This painting is now sold.) It can be seen at
