We’ve just returned from three weeks in the UK, our first visit in 3 years.  For Mike, it was a whirlwind tour of meeting up with friends and family, trying to catch up with all the news and rehash old stories. I love that part of these trips, but for me, my goal was searching for enough painting resources and inspiration to sustain me in to the future.

These trips give me the space and freshness that I rely on for months in my studio work.  Often I revisit my photos years later, and find a new vision that I hadn’t seen before. There is something about having the time to explore an unfamiliar environment, away from the daily routine.  You see things in a different way. Connections are made, insights discovered.

Whether on country strolls, or museum visits in the cities, it re-charges me for months to come.  This time I took close to 500 photos! But often I just walked and breathed in the images.

We started in Kent, in the Southeast corner of Great Britain and found a great bolt hole between Dover and Canterbury.  It was a beautiful resort, the Broome Park Hotel. Although promoted as a “Golf Resort and Wedding Venue” tucked in to the countryside, I found glorious walks in the early morning across the surrounding fields with no one else around except the birds and sheep. We had a “lodge” on the grounds with two bedrooms a living room and a washer and dryer!  A real bonus for European travel.  And we could walk to the pub in the main manor house at night along the fields for dinner. It was a mid-week bargain, and we could catch up on sleep.

Revived, we found time for a wonderful visit with family in Essex,

and joined up with old sailing mates at the Southampton Boat Show.

And then it was back to the countryside – The New Forest and the Montagu Arms.  The wild horses roam the streets in this unenclosed pastureland, heathland and forest, both in the countryside and through the towns and villages. On one of our very first trips to England together, Mike took me to The New Forest as a special treat, and I still love it.  Perfect weather that first week also helped. Mid-70s and sunny!  Could this really be September in England?

A quick stop at one of my favorite spots, Bath, then we were on our way to Cornwall and St. Ives, a north coast town that is now home to Tate St. Ives Art Museum. It was a challenge to park in the hilly, seaside town and make it down cobblestone streets with luggage in tow to our Inn, The Lifeboat. But when we got there it was worth the challenge. Reception told us it is a right of passage to deal with parking and luggage in St. Ives.  We succeeded, barely, but the reward was a room facing the sea right on the front.

We loved it here.  It was filled with galleries and art for me, and boats and pubs for Mike. It is a huge haven for artists with The Tate in the center of it all.  The exhibitions at the museum focus on the history of many local artists who came here during WWII to escape the bombings in London, and ended up starting a fresh new art colony. The tradition continues with studios tucked everywhere, many of them open during this autumn “Arts Week”.


Mike found a fabulous place in the backstreets of St.Ives, “Olives”, and we did a “lunch” of scones and cake and tea that was to die for. There were winding roads all through the town filled with many surprises, and we often just wandered, seeing where the twisted narrow roads would take us. It was a joy to explore, always looking for a new sea view for dinner.

Finally, we went down to the south side of Cornwall to visit and catch up with more family, and rediscover one of our favorite spots, Charlestown. I actually drove that day from St. Ives to Charlestown on those teeny tiny roads, roundabouts, and confusing lanes through the Cornish country. But we made it without a scratch!

The weather was changing, and fierce winds blew us along our walks from our Inn down the lane to the sea.

We then headed up the west side of England in the rain, across Bodmin Moor

and after a stop in the Cotswolds at a familiar site…The Hare and Hounds…

we were off to the north and The Lake District.

We had four days in the Wordsworth Inn in Grasmere and although the weather finally turned showery and cloudy after over a week of sunshine (very un-British) we didn’t mind. It’s the grey country, after all. And it’s what makes everything so lush and green.

I had brought my rain coat and “brollie” and managed to walk every day, visiting old haunts and discovering new inspiration.

After the best break ever, we headed back down south through Cambridge, home of one of my favorite art museums, The Fitzwilliam, and a room with a view of the punts on the River Cam.

Then on to visit friends at Burnham-on-Crouch, Mike’s old sailing hub,

and finally the last 5 days in London.  Phew!

London meant The National Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, and The Royal Academy.

We did Notting Hill, Piccadilly, Kensington and Hyde Park…and I even took a rainy afternoon to see a matineee of “Downton Abbey”.  What could be more appropriate.

We even managed to fit in Sunday Roast with friends in the center of London.

Finally Heathrow, and home! To paint…where to even begin?

Now starts the time of looking for connections, sorting through images, thinking of patterns and context of not just the visual images but also the stories that connect us all.  The depth and underlying currents are just as important to me as the visual beauty of our world. Country lanes and city streets with the background sounds of Brexit on the news.  I am already looking forward to the studio season.

A Fondness for Trees

Bath Botanical Gardens

We take so much for granted in this beautiful world.  When I look back at my photos I realize some of my favorite images are of trees in their infinite variety, moods and glorious stretch of branches.

I recently revisited my photos of a trip I took to Bath, England several years ago.  It was November, and I wandered over to the Bath Botanical Gardens on the other side of town.

The trees were glorious and infinitely varied in size, color, and stages of changing foliage.

Coming over a hill, I spied this bench where an owner and her dog had found refuge on the path between the massive trees behind them and the small grove in front which had lost just the top layer of its leaves.

They just sat there forever, taking in the crisp fall afternoon and the beauty around them. At this stage I took the figures out to make them just a little more prominent in the scene

I’ve always had a fondness for trees.  They are worth our efforts to protect them for the future generations of strollers.

Bath Botanical Gardens

I think about the destiny of the natural world for the next generations. With the climate change prognosis so uncertain, I worry that we will miss the window of opportunity to protect such diversity and beauty. I hope it is not slipping away.

My two young grandnieces are the future. They love the outdoors and see it all with that new sense of wonder so common in the young.

I had visited Bath, in the UK, a few years ago in November, when the leaves were falling and everything had a muted, mysterious end of season look to it.

Walking through the botanical gardens, I came across these birch trees, hanging on to their last leaves, framing a gorgeous color palette of greens, rusts and gold.  I had noticed a woman pushing a baby carriage earlier and decided to place her moving in to the distance of this scene.  My nieces, Lilly and Abby, became my models from a photo their mom had taken in a different setting.  I placed them in to this park, put fall jackets on them and had them enter this special space.

This was a difficult one to get the sense of shadowed uncertainty I wanted, but still keep it fresh and hopeful.  I hope I succeeded.

Note my last, final changes in the small details.  There is always a moment when I am not sure I am finished and spend time, often days, just looking, thinking, looking again at other artists work (Doig, Wyeth, Wiesenfeld, Celaya) and making those final decisions that mean it is finished.

I added a leaf over the girls’ head, and a falling leaf between them and the viewer, changed the tone of the green lawn, some subtle rays of sunshine and edited Abby’s hat to be smaller and less “matched” to her jacket.  I was finally finished telling the story.

A little touch up

Sissinghurst, sunflowers

Sometimes you just have to go back and fix a few things.

I don’t often change a piece of art once I have deemed it “finished”.  Even if it stays on the walls in my own home, I usually leave it alone.  Once I let it go, it’s done.

But rarely, I will see something that from the beginning has stuck with me as just not quite there.  It has to nag at me for a while, but finally, possibly years later, I will pick up the chalk or paint brush and do a bit of editing.  Sometimes I will ruin it for good, but then again…

IMG_2890.JPG

Recently I was allowed to revisit “White Garden”, a favorite painting of mine that I did after a visit to Sissinghurst, a National Trust garden in Kent, England.  At the very end of painting the scene, when I wasn’t quite sure it was finished, I added a figure walking down the path.  A vision of Vita Sackville-West, the poet and gardening writer who created the garden in the 1930s.

White Garden

But it always caught my attention when I looked at the work, and over the years I realized she detracted from the real star…the magical white garden.  So this month, I removed her.  There is a hint of white where she was. Just part of the garden.  I am very pleased with the result. Your full attention is once again on the magnificent roses and garden beyond.

IMG_2868

Sometimes a tweak is more subtle.  I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was bothering me or if anything was really bothering me enough to try a change. It was more a lack of energy than anything else.

Sunflower IV

A few hours later, a bit of work, and some additional strokes of conte, and it was much more agreeable to me. I’m not even sure why.

IMG_2881

It became more complex and layered and could join the other drawings in the series with pride. Sunflowers in a field.

For now, I am happy with them.

Walmer Castle, Deal

Walmer Castle

While the boys in Ramsgate were out to sea racing their hearts out this past summer, a friend and I drove down the coast just south of Deal in Kent. I thought it was the perfect place to recall on these last days of winter.

It was a short drive from Ramsgate, and after a short stroll on the pebble beach…

… we found the castle.  It was a bit of a strange tour.

IMG_8605

The actual castle was built during the reign of Henry the VIII. But the interiors had all been renovated to suit a more modern Duke of Wellington who entertained Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother when he held the post of Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports for 23 years.

We found it rather dark and gloomy and quickly retreated to the more inviting gardens.

The kitchen garden as we see it now, dates back to 1725, although it is likely that fruit and vegetables have been grown there for at least three hundred years when it was a garrison.

Sissinghurst Gardens 2013

Kent, Sissinghurst Castle

My inaugural post on this blog was about Sissinghurst Castle Gardens.  I visited there a few years ago, and after a visit this past summer, it remains one of my favorite gardens in England. I thought with the east coast blanketed by snow and frigid temperatures this week, it was the perfect time to visit an English garden, and Sissinghurst deserved a second post.

Vita Sackville-West, the renowned poet and writer, and her husband Harold Nicolson, diplomat and author, began the transformation of the house and gardens in the 1930s.

It was a labour of love.

Harold was the architect, and Vita orchestrated the romance of the garden.

IMG_8698

Both partners input shows very well in the well-organized garden rooms overwhelmed by color and shape and magnificent blooms. It takes an army of gardeners to manage it all.

IMG_8742

The gardens are famous for Vita’s White Garden, which she wrote about in her diaries.

IMG_8703

It is thought to be the first truly planned out white garden, and it is one my favorite “rooms”.  I would love to see it in the moonlight at its most dramatic.

You are able to go up in the tower on winding stone steps, past Vita’s study, to the very top for magnificent views.

And along the way, are clips of poems and writings of both Harold and Vita about the planning and transformation of the garden. It was very inspirational and creative.

And the views from the rooftop were incredible.

IMG_8710IMG_8701Because the walls hold the warmth in, there is a great variety of plants familiar to those who garden in the southern locations of the U.S.

IMG_8732

We walked for hours, and although much seemed familiar, there were always new surprises.

IMG_8724

Even with a stop for lunch in the garden at the coffee shop, and a gift shop/ice cream break, it was hours spent in the actual garden rooms.

IMG_8735

This is one of the first years I remember seeing sprinklers moved around many of the gardens.  It was a dry, warm summer in England by their standards.

IMG_8705

The herb room was one of my favorites, with well-marked plants revealing the actual appearance of these famous herbs that we often only see dried in spice jars.

I love Sissinghurst.  Would love to visit it in every season.

Cotswolds, Highgrove

Highgrove in the snow.

I came across this photo this week as I was busy putting up our Christmas decorations…very appropriate with all the snow still crisscrossing our country.  This is Highgrove, Prince Charles’ home in The Cotswolds in England where he and Diana raised their two boys.

We toured the gardens this past summer, and they were spectacular.  This particular view is from the cow pastures which stretch out for miles in front of the home.  I loved the vines almost covering the front of the entry.  Mike and I lingered at this spot for quite a while just taking in the perfect English countryside.

Happy Holidays to all, and safe travels if you are going to visit loved ones.

Diana, Fashion Rules, Kensington Palace, Princess of Wales

We spent a morning at Kensington Palace earlier this week. Another glorious early September day in London.

I wanted to visit the palace again and see the new Fashion Rules exhibition.

New this year, the exhibition of dresses from the collections of HM The Queen, Princess Margaret, and Diana, Princess of Wales has proved to be very popular.

And outside the palace, the golden gates on the south side were decorated with notes, clippings and floral tributes in memory of the princess.  It was the anniversary of her death on August 31st, and there were reminders throughout London.

Kensington Palace had been her home where she raised her boys, so here more than anywhere there were thoughts of her life.

Even across the street from the palace road, a cafe helps keep her memory alive.

And then there is the future, celebrated at this same cafe Diana herself used to pop in to for a cold drink.

Kensington Palace, William & Kate

William and Kate, otherwise known as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, move in to their new quarters at Kensington Palace sometime before the end of this year.  It is the beginning of a new and more visible royal role for the couple, as they ease ever more quickly into a very public life.  They must have mixed feelings about the move, but excited especially with the new baby due in the next month.

They will soon live in Apartment 1A, formerly the home of Princess Margaret. Up to now the apartment has remained unused since Princess Margaret’s death in 2002. They currently have a small, two-bedroom apartment residence at the palace.

When I walked by Kensington Palace this past November, I noticed workers busily installing great black iron spikes along the top of this lovely garden wall.  Increased security I’m sure.  A strange world we now live in.

There was also extensive rewiring, new plumbing and the removal of asbestos. What fun to decorate all 20 rooms, including a nursery. The Duchess has had her last public royal appearance before the birth of the baby, and I am sure she will use some of that quiet time to finish furnishing her new home.

I can only wish them years of happiness raising a family is this idyllic place.

Kensington Gardens, Kensington Palace

One of my favorite parks in London is Kensington Gardens.

I discovered it last year, and since then I can’t stay away.

…to join with Hyde Park on its eastern border. 

On the western side of London, Kensington Gardens is next to one of the most desirable areas in London– Kensington–known for some of the best shopping in the city.

It is also very near the popular Notting Hill neighborhood and the famous Portobello market.

To the south of the park is the famous concert hall, The Royal Albert Hall, best known for holding the annual summer Proms concert since 1941. It is right across from the Albert Memorial Gate entrance to the park and the Albert Memorial on Kensington Road.

And of course right inside the gardens on the west side of the park is Kensington Palace, the London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Will & Kate) and Prince Harry.

But so far I have not been fortunate enough to run in to them.

There are lots of dog walkers in the park, and to be a “commercial dog walkers” you do need a license to “operate” in the royal parks.  But these British dogs seem very well-behaved, following all the rules…most of the time.

You are very aware of the royal residents who used the park as their backyard.  This small cafe is next to The Princess Diana Memorial Playground.

Word has it that the Princess stopped for coffee at the small shop that now bears her name which is right outside the gates that lead to the palace.

But it is the beauty of the park itself that keeps me coming back.  It is well used by the locals and visitors.  You can feel the friendliness as soon as you enter.

No matter what the season, it just seems like a lovely space to meet a friend and spend an hour or two walking.
