You guys must think I am nuts because I went to England for almost two weeks and have posted NOTHING about it or any paintings from the trip. First, let me tell you, my hosts, Phil and Juliet from the SWPP are FABULOUS. Their family is wonderful and I can’t thank Colin and Terrie enough for dragging me from city to city. The kids, Sally, Lucy and Hannah were a delight and a lot of fun. The workshops went great and here are a few images from them. We forgot to take pictures at every stop as it got a little crazy in the heat wave we hit there. Lack of air conditioning clearly makes my brain soggier than usual!

Here’s one of my favorite new paintings in England: Lucys English Garden

For Lucys English Garden I used some new Corel Painter IX.5 brushes from David Gell.
These are the textured acrylic brushes. Very cool to work with. David has other brushes, tips, articles and cool stuff on his Brush Port site.
