Here's yet another wonderful postcard! This time from Bridget in Scotland. This is done in acrylics and although the photograph hasn't done it justice, it makes it lovely loose and alive looking. There are no figures in the sketch, yet there is a sense of quite busyness, of readiness, and of hard work having been done. Anyone who loves gardening and growing will have an immediate empathy, and I love it!
This is Bridget's comment-
"April means lots of planting and bare earth but i love the pattern of the tall poles and the blue of the bins. The rhubarb had been allowed to go to seed and in flower - I liked the colour!"
I like the colour too, especially of the blue bins. It's a really unusual subject, and really cleverly done. It really stuck chords. Thanks Bridget!

I do enjoy these sketches so much. Little snippets from different parts of the world. Thanks.
Those blues are wonderful and it does give a great sense of busyness as Alison says! Lovely card!
This lovely painting evokes pure contentment and the pleasure of knowing a wonderful garden is underway.
really beautiful - love the colours!!
My comment seems to have disappeared. I know I said that your palette is magical, Bridget. It's a really beautiful painting.
I am fascinated by the whole idea of allotments. What a wonderful way for gardeners to share their passion.
I love the variety of the colours used in this lovely image.
oh gorgeous - it takes me back to the years when we had an allotment - and himself grew so much rhubarb we supplied the local shop!
Thankyou for lovely comments. I remember as a child a treat was eating rhubarb stalks dipped into sugar carried in a brown paper bag : > )
