Marigolds, Pumpkins, and Tomatoes:

The beginning of November - We have arrived at the season of evergreens, soups and jumpers here in Somerset. The leaves have turned with glorious colour for their last hurrah before falling to the floor and leaving the mighty branches to be seen again through misty days and walks shuffling through coloured wrinkled leaves.

In Pic 2 a picture by Anna-Meika Von Ogtrop who I remember with very fond memories who died a year ago. She was a brilliant artist who illustrated many books with her imaginative humour and talent, painted vibrant oils such as this tree of positive joy. She loved colour and wore it everyday even in hospital; it made her smile. She was a brave woman who battled the pains of scoliosis from the age of 14 in her back, carrying on in her quiet modest way, but always fought for the things that mattered to her.
She was a dear friend whom I miss greatly, but cherish many special memories.

In pic 4 two more pictures - On the windowsill is Terry Plackitt and the wood block by @gillstewartartist . The bowl decorated with yellow and blue Lavender is by myself.

Happy Monday all - I’m off to see a pot of a fine artist at Wells Cathedral.
