Painting a bee block for my sister's to-be little one in this incredible weather we're having.

Quick sketch of the new temperate house in Kew Gardens.

I’ve been meaning to add my beetroot and carrot stir fry to the recipe book for a while.

I finally watched Love and Friendship last weekend, one of the funniest films I’ve seen in a while. I just had to paint Lady Susan, although I didn’t nail Kate Beckinsale’s likeness.

The latest addition to my recipe book, lebanese style vegetable stew.

I'm aiming to sneak in some quick sketches while I'm in Colombia for work (like this one of the view of the Andes from our hotel room in Bogotá) which I'll post at www.twitter.com/rowena_paints

Page 21 of the travel sketch/scrapbook, onto Groningen and my development of a great love for the Netherlands, helped by the Autumn colours.

Page 20 of the travel sketch/scrapbook, this recipe for hot spiced apple juice blew my socks off (although it will never be as good as with the freshly pressed apple juice by yours truly!)

Page 19 of the travel sketch/scrapbook, doing lots of building work renovating a caravan and featuring the artwork of the little girl on the farm (who I fell in love with, she was one talented and smart cookie - check out that amazing hedgehog).
