A fairly quiet day in Wembley Place. Dan showed me his fish and, in particular, his turtles which were babies when I was here before. Now they are huge and quite tame. I hope to do a painting of one sometime as they have extraordinary markings and interesting faces.
I continued painting the New Zealand weed in the garden…. so nice to be painting outside again.
I was so absorbed in my painting that it took me a while to get my thoughts together for a walk down to the Sail Club for the Yardarm.
Such beautiful light down there by the water. Jessie was already there chatting to Kelly, an actor who travels the world in his work but is currently home and working at the gym. He had painted a mural on the gym wall. Leigh and I got settled with our G&T and Pinot Gris…. so enjoyable but strange to be enjoying hot summer weather by the Lake. If I’d had my togs with me, I’d have been in!
Jessie collected Hunter from ballet and we watched her elegance against the setting sun.
We walked slowly back through the Reserve and Leigh pointed out the Bignonia on the way.
All credit to Leigh for this stunning photograph of the evening sun rays.
