Pork Pies
Many English people cherish their traditional foods. These British pork pies, and quite delicious. Painting from a photo, I unwisely started it before dinner, and was too distracted by my hunger to continue!

Whitby Shore
In England last summer, we went to Whitby on the east coast to have fish and chips. We also did some sightseeing, and the sky was magic.

Derbyshire Countryside
On my trip to England with my husband last summer, we visited his son and daughter in law in Derbyshire. Exploring the countryside we came across so many beautiful scenes, but the sky there is so spectacular, it is the focus of many of my paintings (so far!).

Winter Twilight
