Cucumber Soup For Lunch


The cukes and the cherry tomatoes live right outside our kitchen window growing in a bed where we used to have Annabel Hydrangeas. At 11 this morning Sarah decided we would have her patented cucumber soup for lunch. At 12 we sat down to eat it. A meal doesn't get much fresher than that. Who says an art gallery can't be multi-faceted?

A personal insight into the life and art of EB Watts



Being bi-coastal is one thing but, being bi-continent is entirely something else. EB Watts (Lizzie to her friends.) was born in New Jersey, summered regularly in Maine and for a long time now has divided her time between England and the United States.
The link that follows at the end of this post will take you to her art site which is part of a bigger site dedicated to the promotion and history of her husband William's English ancestral holding, the grand and historic Capesthorne Hall. I think Ms Watt's current art is informed in many ways by the life she has led and is currently leading. She travels widely, has studied extensively in Italy and now is responsible for the ongoing decoration of the public areas of Capesthorne.
Her paintings sing with her worldly imagination and give the viewer vignettes of the worlds flora and fauna assembled in the most delightful settings.
