"Bougainvillea Sky" by Lynda Cookson

"Bougainvillea Sky"
A lovely sunny day in Portugal a few years ago ... and that sky really was that blue when I took this photograph! I grew up with a huge ... really old and really big! ... Bougainvillea of this exact shade in KwaZulu Natal in South Africa, so I was tickled to be able to capture my memory so stunningly against the orange deck cover and such an incredibly blue sky. Most definitely one of my favourite photographs.

"Pals for Tea" by Lynda Cookson

I often keep surfaces (paper, board or canvas) from failed paintings and clean my palette knife on them ... or fill them with palette knife strokes of left-over paint. They make interesting backgrounds and props for simple, warm-up paintings. Here's one of them:

"Tropical Flowers" by Lynda Cookson

I've recently, because of down-sizing and moving into a much smaller home, destroyed a few of the larger paintings I had in stock. "Tropical Flowers" wasn't one of those! She's hung in my bedroom for a few years now and is going straight back into our new bedroom pretty tout suite!
