Watercolour : Wisley Gardens

A bit of an experiment, this one. A view of the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens at Wisley. Watercolour.

  1. How nice to see a pic to go with the poems. I love Wisley Gardens and this captures them well. I love the one-stroke (almost) trees.

  3. The simplicity of your painting captures the essence of a formal garden.

  4. It reminds me rather of Chinese paintings Dave but I just can't put my finger on why. Like it very much though.

  5. Oh so lovely .... I would have this repeated over and over in a fabric print .. somewhere in my home!

    Money off = porn is hysterical!

    Wishing you a speedy recovery from cataract surgery, Dave.

  6. WOW this is my most favorite in the universe! I think I might try to copy it in my own feeble manner...Good luck today with the surgery- kind of creepy isn't it...so close to the brain, so close to where you LIVE! You will be fine- better than new but it is unsettling...Thinking of you today!

  7. Once you've seen one porn movie you've them all, nothing new to offer oh! so boring. Give me a good blood thirsty horror movie anytime. Best of luck with your cataract operation and speedy recovery.

    A warm welcome to you. Thanks for visiting and for commenting. Good to have you aboard. I shall do my best re the pictures, but have a few problems in that area these days - mostly to do with eyes and limbs.

    Thanks Carl. Much appreciated

    It was something of an experiment, but I thought it might have possibilities.

    Thanks. I hadn't thought "Chinese", but now that you've said it, you've got me thinking that way. (I can't put my finger on it either.)

    What a great idea. I can see that may have possibilities.

    On the strength of brain scans they have decided that the brain reacts in exactly the same way to money-off promotions as to, say, a porn film. (A sort of 'let me get at it' reaction, would you think?)

    My turn to say Wow! Hadn't expected a reaction like that. I grant you full copying rights.
    The surgery went fine, thanks, now the brain has to catch up. Its been repressing the rubbish image for so long, I think it's forgotten about binocular vision. The world's looking fine in 3-D at the moment, because I'm stationary, but when I move...!

    That's why I'm lacking it! I wondered where it had gone. Thanks Conda.

    Windsmoke
    I agree. Absolutely. Thanks for the good wishes - see Linda Sue above.

    A very small bit, I'm thinking. Thanks, though.

  10. Why do I expect to see Alice in Wonderland to peeking round one of your the bushes at any moment?! :)

    Ah, well, she should have been, Jinksy, but I got there too late. Just missed her.
