One of the treats of living in the Hills district is the wonderful array of garden cafes that have sprung up over the years. One of our favourites is Geranium Cottage in Glenorie, and today was a perfect spring day to soak up the sun at this pretty spot. Bryce and I love our tete a tetes. It's that special time to "just be" together. The geraniums here are ofcourse of the vibrant and colourful type, but as well, there are a few lesser known varieties. The coffee was to B's liking and the green tea was refreshing. I took a moment to sketch a young couple who were enjoying their sojourn in the sun. Bryce captured a few flowers and so did I. Such a beautiful day. A real treat. Then I came home a sketched our lavender and our driveway. Then water colours were lightly applied for more depth. I started a book Bryce bought me from KIKKI K called 365. I plan to fill it with sketches... one day at a time. Hopefully I'll see some artistic growth as the year evolves.
I have embarked on self discovery through my creative side. I have always loved to draw but somehow felt that "art has passed me by". I want to capture the essense of that artist that is within me and see what I can become.
