  • CAFE LIFE

    I’m definitely spoilt for choice when it comes to cafes around and about our local villages near my home.

    It just happens that one of my favorite subjects alongside weathered facades and faded shutters is cafe parasols and these we have in abundance. Bright white or blues, yellows and reds or even striped.

    With the sunshine that we get for most of the year parasols are essential and I just love the shadows that they cast on the terraces.

    Imagine yourself sitting here, instant holiday vibes.

  • Cake

    I can have my cake and eat it too, as long as I sketch it first!

    At the top is a traditional Gâteau des Rois, eaten in France on the 6th of January, Epiphany.

    Below an Italian pastry filled with “ crema pasticcera “…….

    I don’t very often sketch food, but I really enjoy sketching cakes, perhaps I need to do more in 2024.
