The weather has been gorgeous this week and rain was forecast so I decided to paint outside in the garden.   I like using negative shapes as the basis of an abstract design.  We have an area in one corner of the garden which, to the untrained eye, looks like a heap of junk. In fact it’s  just waiting for a shed.  Boxes, pots, hosepipe, football goal in pieces, wheelbarrow and so on.  Lots of good shapes.  And opposite a sunny bench.   I wanted layers of shapes and I think that worked quite well. And my painting only blew into the pond once.
