Happy New Year

Wishing you all a happy New Year I hope you have had a great Christmas !

I haven’t posted in quite a while, So I thought it would be nice to start 2018 with some new blog posts showcasing some of my oil sketches done in the  latter end 2017 in and around Stafford .

Chinese House – Shugborough

The Chinese House in the heart of the beautiful gardens at Shugorough Hall the ancestral home  of Lord Lichfield . I was taken by the view with the autumn reflections in the water and the bridge. Painted Pleinair on a smal 10×8 board
