Colour- just not watercolour

 

There has not been much time for art work as Fiona and I continue our cottage maintenance work - planting out 100+ Crocosimia Lucifer (bright red) bulbs, weeding and painting 4 alcoves - 2 up and 2 downstairs.

We did make time to go to an industrial supply shop to get two new chimney pots for the cottage; and whilst over that way stoped off for lunch in Halkirk with Graham. 

Across the road from the Halkirk Ulbster Arms Hotel was the most amazing display of tulip colour. If you scroll through the post you will see what I mean about colour and form.








I was interested in the furry edged tulips - white and yellow - I had never seen these before.


So while I did not get time to apply colour to paper - nature offered so much colourful beauty for us to enjoy.
