Weekend distractions

gardening has dragged me out of the studio.....it is the first weekend it has been mild enough to get outside and a massive tidy-up is in order...can't leave it all to Malc! Went to garden centre for an purple acer, and came back with 2, and 6 new rhododendrons, all going at half price...we HAVE to stop buying plants!!!!! Back to studio tomorrow and will show the new gondolieri painting that's on the easel...WILL finish it tomorrow as I am teaching Tuesday ( and I've still to paint those flowers from Mothers' Day!
