It’s been a bit hectic this last week and the last few weeks come to that. This means that Mrs Summerhouse hasn’t had time to create a new piece of art for this retirement blog. So she’s dug into her archives and come up with this pastel on paper, dramatic scene from last year’s Scottish…

Retirement blog : Mrs Summerhouse’s art
This should say Mrs Summerhouse’s from the actual summerhouse. Nothing unusual there you might think, except there is. In spring-cleaning mode this week, which meant we cleared out the summerhouse of the title of this blog. It had become a convenient dumping ground for all kinds of stuff, electric saw, golf clubs, wine press, BBQ…
Retirement blog : Mrs Summerhouse’s art
A retirement blog featuring Mrs Summerhouse’s art. Two offerings from her in the electronic / digital style. She knocks them off so easily it’s easy to underrate them. I like them we hope you do too. They’re another retirement activity and a nice use of her iPad I bought her for Christmas about three years…
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : Nidderdale snow
Our first snow up at the barn / vineyard and Mrs summerhouse has captured it perfectly using pastel, charcoal and pencil all on canvas. One of her retirement blog / art offerings.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art, electronic version
It’s been a busy old time as you might expect, so Mrs SH has come up with an electronic piece of art for this weekend. Made on her iPad with a minimum amount of fuss just to keep this retirement blog ticking over.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : a late entry from Scottish holiday
I’ll admit we’ve struggled this week to get a blog ready for Friday posting so we’ve gone back to the holiday archives for this pastel and paper which is a rough sketch for a painting to follow.
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : a different view from Nidderdale
A different view and a different technique from Mrs Summerhouse. This time she’s used acrylic paint on canvas. It’s a medium she’s tried before (it’s a bit like painting with oils) but hasn’t liked the results. This one we all like so she’s putting it out there. The view and the strong hint of a…
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : view from Scourie
Another version of the view from Scourie campsite after photo and crayon sketch. This one produced by Mrs Summerhouse with her pastels on canvas technique. She’s kept it quite loose stylistically to reflect the wildness of the setting. It brings it all back.
Scottish photo blog
A measure of how busy we’ve been Mrs Summerhouse has had no time to produce a piece of art for the blog. So next best thing one of her photos taken in Scotland at our campsite in Scourie. Hard to imagine that just a day later we were in fear of being blown off the…
Mrs Summerhouse’s art : The far North West
We’re all a bit out of sync, at sixes and sevens you might say, since our return from holidays, otherwise known as that Scottish trip. It’s going to end up like Shakespeare’s the Scottish play, the one who dare not speak its name. I’ll try and explain why our return has been so hectic in…
