Your garden is wonderful, Clare! And that purple rose. Oooh, looks beautiful. Wish I could smell it. I was chatting with my sister-in-law about roses and was envious that she has so many and isn't bothered by Japanese beetles. I got her hooked on David Austins years ago and now she has more than I do!
Thanks for all of the tips for plein air sketching. I want to do lots more of it this year, though I tend to get distracted when I'm outside and often don't touch my supplies and sketchbooks at all.
I hope you'll share more of your sketchbooks. And more of your garden! Love getting a glimpse into what you're creating!
Thank you Anne, the roses here are just starting to bloom and then we’ve had a day of rain, which the garden desperately needed, however, the roses have shed lots of petals with the force of the raindrops. I love roses too and tend to pick the tea roses that have a scent. Emily Brontë is my favourite. I didn’t manage to get into the garden today or the greenhouse but there’s the rest of the season to look forward to. More glimpses of the garden to come I am sure. 🙏💜
