I have been away for so long I don't even know where to start. Happy Halloween! The big pumkin was my last entry for the Floral Art Club competition and 'it has been without precedent that a new member has won the cup with the highest points this year, as she has been with us for only a short time' this was the introduction before Laura the Club's Secretary made the announcement that I had won. Even when my name was mentioned, I had to have a little nudge from one of the ladies to react to my surprising win. It was a real surprise to me since some of the ladies have been in this club for 40 years and I'm a new commer with no experience whatsoever. Well, this means if everything else fails in my life, at least I have a future with a flower shop! but luckily that is not the case, as I also have in sight an art show which will be on the 11th of November so I have the pictures framed and ready for the show. I only need to do some cards and am ready to fly! fingers crossed, things will go well.

Hi Maria

Happy Halloween! I’m not surprised you won, because that pumpkin is a really nice splash of colour. I think maybe your artistic arrangement skills come into play here - I’m remembering the vases you did.

Are those the paintings for the exhibition? I like them all, but I think my favourite is perhaps the first one, with the grassy track. I’m not sure I can explain why, but there’s something about it that makes me like it best.

Thank you Robert. The second picture has a dark shadow from the easel so I have to take a better picture. Yes, I prefer the one with the wheat too. Some of them are better than others. Peter likes the third one more than all the others. Taste is subjective.
