Setting up my website (www.patcusackinnesart.co.uk) and this blog have taken a great deal of time lately but I've managed to complete the small painting below. The rose is from my garden - I love roses and gardening - and the bud vase is a new acquisition. There's an abundance of fruit to choose from at the moment, both for painting and eating! Hope you like the painting.

It will be uploaded to my website  in due course and available for purchase.
