“Snag and Sky” — A skeletal dead tree silhouetted against a cloudy Cotswolds sky, England.

You might never guess by looking at this photograph, but I made this on a beautiful day with blue sky and dramatic clouds, in an area along a trail in the Cotswolds that was very green. I was surrounded by gentle hills, green wheat fields, and many spring-green trees. But there was this one dead snag, devoid of leaves, standing starkly against that sky.

Nestled in the heart of the #Cotswolds, the charming #StoneHouses with steep gabled roofs sit beside a peaceful churchyard, surrounded by lush greenery and centuries-old gravestones. The #HistoricVillage exudes classic English heritage, with honey-coloured cottages and dry-stone walls that perfectly capture the character of the #EnglishCountryside. A blend of history and tranquillity, the locale is a favourite for walkers exploring picturesque lanes and scenic trails. Visitors often pause here to admire the idyllic #CountrysideCottage atmosphere and the timeless charm of rural life.

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, Miserden is a picturesque stone manor surrounded by beautifully maintained historic gardens that overlook the serene English countryside. The terraced lawns, clipped hedges, and bursts of seasonal flowers create a tranquil setting with sweeping scenic views across the wooded valley. The estate, part of a charming village setting, reflects the timeless architecture and pastoral charm that define the region. A peaceful retreat for walkers and garden enthusiasts, it perfectly embodies the allure of #Cotswolds #HistoricGardens #EnglishCountryside #StoneManor #ScenicViews.

Alongside paintings of local landscapes, I have also been working on mixed-media pieces.

Knitting was passed down to me by my grandmother. The knitting in this pieces uses local wool from rare breed Cotswold sheep.

Our local landscape has been shaped over millennia by humans. Natural and human elements run side-by-side, and I aim to illustrate this by weaving them together in these pieces.

Day 19 of my Flower Advent Calendar is also this week's Cheering Up Mondays flower.

I grew this rather lovely dwarf iris for the first time this year.

I love these iris particularly in pots where you can place them high up and enjoy the flowers close-up.

These are clinging on despite the recent gales.

I love sorbus berries and this is a favourite - 'Pink Pagoda'.

The leaves are pretty too, a grey/blue colour that turn beautiful shades of red in autumn.

A great tree for a small garden.
