Mum’s painting


 Regular visitors may know that my Mum decided to take up painting with acrylics in 2020 age 87. She hadn’t painted since she was 15. She had 4 lessons and then we went into lockdown. We had shown her how to use Youtube on her Ipad so she set about learning to paint.

Lessons resumed again a while ago and her latest work is an interpretation of part of her back garden which is covered in bark for ease.

I think she has done an incredible job and once she has varnished it then it will be hanging on her lounge wall.

What a terrific painting Marianne, and your Mum's garden looks so lovely. How lovely to learn a new skill in later years and to do so well. I bet it looks lovely on the wall, Kate x
