This autumn I am enjoying sketching and painting fish. We went fishing in September and the lovely patterns on salmon were an inspiration. Back home there is a quite a good variety of fish on the fish mongers stall in the supermarket. I finished a couple of paintings of fishy faces and have started a larger still life with crabs, prawns as well as fish. Not sure how it will turn out but I am enjoying the process and the challenge.

Note for your diary, this year’s trail coming soon.The Wylye Valley Art Trail starts on Saturday 1st May and runs until Sunday 9th May.
