While in the Cape, the weather veers from 'spring is on the way' to 'the winter rains are still here', in Europe it is heading slowly if not directly into autumn. In a month there will be harvest festivals and with the centuries old traditions, produce is harvested with autumn in mind. Of course, no-one wants it to arrive tomorrow with winter on its heels.
I received a photo of home-grown garden produce harvested from a keen gardener who has been around his garden this weekend; he also has hens and amongst them there is an Araucana hen that produces beautiful blue eggs!
Such were the colours and the tasteful arrangement of the produce, I got out my largest watercolour block and am attempting a rendition of this autumnal bounty.
Are you up to the challenge too?
You don't have to do all the items and you don't have to use the same colours. Frances helped you open up a few weeks ago with colour and form.
Have a go on your own. Pencil. Ink. Crayon. Watercolour... acrylic. Go for it!
Send me a photo of your finished work (my email is on the masthead above) and we'll put it on the blog.
