		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes I just don&#8217;t feel like painting! What an admission, but maybe it&#8217;s not so much that I don&#8217;t want to paint, but a desire to so something else, equally creative, is stronger than the desire to paint and must be obeyed. Hence I have been sorting out treasured scraps of fabric and have been [...]]]></description>

Having said that it certainly goes jolly cold when the sun goes down so I&#8217;ll get the maid to light the fire middle of the afternoon. Spring doesn&#8217;t feel that far away, there are catkins out in the hedgerows, fluffy [...]]]></description>

Because I think it is a responsibility as a human being to strive to fulfill your full potential. It&#8217;s not always easy, in fact most of the time just standing still is difficult enough, but to continue [...]]]></description>

There were some of the &#8216;usual suspects&#8217; attending along with a few new faces who soon blended in and we were learning and laughing together. The weather was perfect. Fresh and crisp first thing, brilliant blue sky and then the temperature [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love painting figs! I picked these from a friend&#8217;s tree yesterday and didn&#8217;t waste any time getting paint and paper into action. They were the second crop of the year and consequently a bit small, bit they were still bursting with colour and as I picked them, some split open exposing those fabulous juicy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sunflowers are happy flowers with beautiful uplifting shades of yellow and gold. How can you feel anything but happy painting them. Apparently it is a myth that they turn their heads to follow the sun. I&#8217;m not sure about that, but I used the story to create this triptych. Each painting measures 100 by 50 cms [...]]]></description>
