UK Trip

I had a trip to the UK in August/September visiting some of the places I used to live and to catch up  with friends and family. I wanted to do some plein air painting while I was there, without taking, or carrying a lot of equipment on the plane or in my hire car.  I took a cheap lightweight fold up aluminium easel,  my system of primed watercolour paper and a a few loose items palette, brushes etc... and  trying to keep the boot of the car clean!

I managed to do 16 or 18 little sketches on my way between visits.

This was an exhibition of portrait paintings that was recently shown at the Sassafras Creek Restaurant in Kurrajong. I had a quick trip to the UK at the same time that the exhibition was on, which didn't leave me time to add to the Blog, but here are a few catch up pictures, not all the portraits are shown here
