| bluebells original linocut by Teresa Newham |
I blame the weather, myself. While the garden and the hedgerows were shivering in the chilly Spring, the bluebells were enjoying an extended season; many were still in bloom at the start of May. I just couldn't resist painting some more!

This time I chose to focus on the flowers themselves, rather than the woodland, and thought I would make a smaller watercolour for a change. As things turned out, I couldn't decide on the format, so I ended up with two little pictures.

My final venture into bluebell-ness (this year!) was a linocut, which I sketched and cut before I realised I hadn't reversed the design. I quickly cut a new design straight onto the block and printed it up in a hurry - the second print in a row which has turned out well when I don't over-think it. There's a lesson there somewhere . . .

Love the bluebells and wild campion - very atmospheric. That blue is a perfect colour for the prints as well.
