Apples
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.

Snapdragons
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.
Roses Fae The Asda
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.

Hydrangea
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.

Approaching Glasgow Central
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.
The Garnock in spate
#5 in the series of views from a train on the Glasgow/Ayr line
