We did it! I've just sent a cheque to the Malaghan Institute for $2800 - thanks for your help in raising this :)

This week I've been in recovery! After the painting a day fundraiser(which ends on saturday at 7.30pm- still time to bid! The link, if you're interested ,is http://www.trademe.co.nz/art/paintings/other/watercolour/auction-563389610.htm ) and helping organise the market at Nelson Lakes Festival. I just needed to  potter, so have been working hard in the garden, catching up with grass cutting,which takes 3 days, and thinking about winter veges. As I work I'm thinking about painting, looking at my beautiful hollyhocks, watching the light on the mountains, enjoy the texture of the tussocks in the breeze. And yes, smelling the roses.

By popular request - The Lazy Cows- and the trademe link is 

Today's painting is another little trio of pears - if you missed out the first time here's your chance!
