After a slippery, slidy and treacherous journey to the studio today, I swept the snow drift away from the door, switched on the heater and crunched a few pine branches underfoot to give a Christmassy smell to the place!

Not even extreme weather will stop me from watercolour painting - and I was in the mood for sunflowers, poppies and tulips today, so pop in and see them if you're sledging by! It's looking chilly on the outside, but I promise you a warm welcome.
