"La Bellieuse" by Lynda Cookson

"La Bellieuse" is the name of the old farm house my Loney ancestors used to live in in St Martin, Guernsey. We visited there recently, enjoying ourselves stirring up the ghosts and ancient family stories. Of course I had to paint the house!

As a warm-up I painted a watercolour study of the front door

and a charcoal sketch of a different view of the house

"Green Tea Pot" by Lynda Cookson

This is reaching back a few years when some studies and daily paintings were signed TPP as they were done as demos for students of my studio, The Painters' Palette. TPP was the official signature of work produced in The Painters' Palette studio. They sold on eBay at the time (I no longer run an eBay store).

I have always loved tea pots, for what they represent as well as for their shape ... fat and round with useful appendages and an interesting lid to top it off. To me they represent family and friends, comfort and home - and all that goes with that.

So I present "Green Tea Pot" ...
