I have heard of conflicting reports of this years apple trees being either barren or loaded with fruit. Happy to say ours and Father-in Law’s are in full laden glory. Here is a branch of Robert’s tree. A red red variety.

I felt last weeks’ still lifes were a bit hit and miss. I painted this on Sunday and it has survived the scraper, unlike some! That means it is a stayer and quite happy with it.
Whoever thinks painting is a leisurely pursuit is, well, very wrong.
It was hard work to get to a place where you think ” I cant do better than it is”. Then it is finished when that idea is forefront.
Roses fae The Asdas 10″x8″ oil on board
The first blooms are out and looking fresh. The natural world is oblivious to viral concerns.
This heat persuades us to do little physically but painting a still life is just as exhausting, if only mentally. But so good to get back to painting flowers.
“Hydrangea” 10″x10″ oil on board
This may or may not be #6 in the series.
It is different in that it is urban, so whether it fits the series , time will tell, when more views are painted. It is certainly a view from a train, so it probably will be included in the same group.
#5 in the series of views from a train on the Glasgow/Ayr line
“Garnock in Spate” 8″x8″ oil on board
Somewhere near Dalry, Ayrshire. Another in the series of views seen from the Glasgow/Ayr line.
8″x8″ oil on board
One more from the train series.
This is just before Kilwinning on the way home to Irvine on the Glasgow-Ayr line

Another of the small oil landscapes which are turning into a series.
This is 8″x8″ oil on board
This is the third version. I repainted the first time because I saw things I wanted to change. The second time, someone else pointed out areas lacking in something. I agreed. This is probably the final version of this painting.
