After dropping our lovely friends at the station, I came home with just the youngest son. The sun had finally come out so I suggested we paint outside in the garden. We enthusiastically carried out a bench for resting on and set to work. Inspired by the beautiful sunshine, flowers, trees and blue sky, my son painted a street of houses at night. Interesting. I tried to be a bit more upbeat and get the feel of the light filtering into the garden and the pond. They were painted quickly as the attention span of a six year old is not huge. But I am pleased with the reflective quality of the first one. And I felt I remembered how to enjoy using the paint. More sunshine please.
