Just before moving onto a different subject, two more sketchbook pages involving flowers.
These pages were done following the yearly flower market in Barcelonnette, such a riot of colours , impossible to resist.

Spring flowers, I just can’t resist them.








Dipladenia, fuchsia, scented garden roses, lilac, all there waiting for me to paint them!
Perfect weather for outdoor sketching, whilst juggling commissions and project meetings.
I don’t usually have time to do so much Urban sketching, or in my case rural sketching, but I need to make the most of it before it gets too hot and busy. So here is a tour around some of my local villages.











Very welcome weekend in the mountains. Sitting in the sunshine sketching really raises the spirits, after two weeks of Covid. All feels right in my world again.
More Easter weekend sketches to follow, from the valley of the Ubaye and Barcelonnette.
