Snowdrops

Snow drops are looking gorgeous in the garden.
We have a really good show this year.

The Daffodils are just coming through too.
Spring must be on its way. 

Time to order from the Sarah Raven catalogue 🙂

Sketchbook Work – What Lies below?

/ Helen Leighton-Rose / 4 Comments
 “What lies below” was the prompt from the Documented Life Project 2015.
I immediately thought of Hares – though I realise they don’t actually live in burrows (artistic license!) and I thought of the Cup & Ring marked rocks we find in Northumberland.
So many of which must still be UNDER the ground.
 So here is the spread, I cut through to a second painted page – its not as delicate as I would have liked, but then that’s the point of trying out new ideas, its an experiment, it doesn’t always have to work.  
But it’s a great starting point for refinement and further study.
What I did love was my sleeping hare….. I think you’ll be seeing him again.
Am having a hare thing at the mo…..

My “Word” for 2015.

I’m sure I’ll use many more – but this is the one to hold onto and remember its meaning.

Inside that pouch should be my 2015 goals….. but I haven’t had time to think about them yet.
That says an awful lot.
