Sizzlingly Hot


Sydney is sizzlingly hot at the moment... and it makes drawing in my little studio at home really unpleasant. Which makes me rather sad as I have a new drawing all lined up to properly start on. Gah.

So to keep my head cool I'm going to post some pretty, pretty pictures I took in the Southern Highlands recently. My lovely boyfriend took me to a gorgeous winery and the gardens were really amazing - like something out of Beatrix Potter actually! (Cue Peter Rabbit!!) I've always been a fan of a cottage gardens - I know, I know, very un-trendy... but they are so pretty and healthy and unstructured! I mean, formal gardens can be amazing, but they always have a contrived look about them to me. I can appreciate the hard work, skill and artististic eye that it takes to grow and maintain a formal garden but... but... tumbling roses and lavender and a tree in the corner heavy with sweet apples or cherries wins my heart over time and again.

So now you know my terrible taste in gardens I hope you'll humour me with my photos. Enjoy! XX
