America ,Pennsylvania

I have been to see some of the immaculate farms and husbandry of the Amish communities like this one in Lancaster .I am using water colours as they are easy to transport.

Checking The Hay

ON THE BEACH

The weather is unpredictable, violent storms and heat.This can create misty weather when warm air passes over a cool sea, a feature often seen on the East Coast of England.
But the call of the ocean on a fine sunny day is irresistible.

The Dragons beat The Russians

 I do not watch much  football but I found the Wales versus Russia match amazing as this brilliant team from a tiny country beat the mighty Russia,Wales 3 Russia 0.
I just had to do a little painting of this event as the crowd celebrate with the team scorers at the end of the match in Toulouse.The singing was brilliant too.

TOP HAT, WHITE TIE AND TAILS

Top Hats ,Ascot and High Society in England

Old fashioned as it may seem there is still a requirement for gentlemen to wear top hats for some social occasions in England.These hats are not worn with the white tie and tails evening dress as worn by Fred Astaire in the famous film Top Hat but with a more subtle form of attire known as morning dress.
Ascot , Royal Garden Parties, Society Weddings  and Investitures are the usual occasions when this elegant form of dress should be worn.Most people hire the suit and hat.If you get a chance to wear it , do it.
Ladies this is your opportunity to buy a  large,gorgeous hat NOT a fascinator  to go with your lovely outfit.

If you are going to Royal Ascot see the official website  advice on forms of dress.

There are several wonderful milliners in London, my favourite for men and women is Locks .If you are visiting London you can always window shop and wish.

As an artist I love the chance to draw and paint a few scenes from high society events
