With all the snow we've had I was very tempted to paint outdoors but having had a bad bout of bronchitis a few years ago I decided against it as I still feel vunerable so I tried some interiors and was happy to be indoors if not in the warm, seeing as only our kitchen is really warm in these temperatures during the day, standing right next to the AG at that ! I love working outside, there is nothing quite like plein air work but I still feel enjoy pottering in the studio too, working up sketches and oncentrating on interiors. I've never been keen on still life work, though admire examples from other artists. In fact one of my favourite paintings is a Victorian still life executed by Fanny Moody when she was only 17, a masterly watercolour of a ginger jar, a dead pheasant and Christmas greenery. Talking of Victorian watercolours another favourite of mine is below, artist unknown, alas.
