Tag Tuesday-Farms, Fields and Patchwork Landscapes

This week the theme on Tag Tuesday is Farms, Fields and Patchwork Landscapes.            
I have used a Gelli printed landscape this week as a tag. I have been drawing textures into the Gelli plate, then taking a print. The idea came from Linda Germain in an online course. I am still working on variations of this, with different colour combinations and styles. The landscape is my version of Tuscany, Italy, which we visited this summer.

Tag Tuesday-Reindeer and Stags

The subject for this week's Tag Tuesday is Reindeer and Stags. This was a good subject for a tag as there is so much inspiration out there . They must be on trend at the moment,  and so are we! I knew exactly what I  wanted to do for my tag, which meant buying a stag stencil to get the image I had in mind. This meant buying a few more stencils at the same time. I painted my new stag stencil on a gelli printed background, using black acrylic to make it stand out. If you look closely you can see some other touches that have been added.

The Mill at Sonning

I have lived near The Mill at Sonning for over twenty years, but although
 I have driven past frequently, I had never been inside. I heard they 
have a new cafe, so popped in to have a warm drink after a cold
walk by the river. Mostly known for its dinner/theatre it is a place 
where you can watch a performance and eat a buffet dinner.
I was very taken by the water wheel and the cosy cafe 
 The mill machinery adds interest to the surroundings.
Another feature is its proximity to George Cluny's English home, 
which is the former mill house!
