Hydrangeas, and more hydrangeas

I love hydrangeas. I also love the paintings of New Zealand artist Karl Maughan, whose work so often depicts lush and verdant gardens.

I was quite excited then to see this work, Salamanca Road, amongst the new(ish) acquisitions at the Waikato Museum in Hamilton.

Six Word Saturday

Something new to play with

With my growing collection of old furniture to be up-cycled, I guess I’ll be using a lot of chalk paint. It’s supposed to go on easily and be great for creating a distressed look.

Hopefully on the furniture, rather than me.
