until the end

Photos; private (3 = TC again)

Yesterday was the last time I ever had to wear uniform to school (well, excluding exams...), so all the girls decided to go upon a theme - St Trinian's.

Originally a series of sketches, and then a series of films between 1957-1980, as well as two recent adaptations, St Trinian's' girls are seen as role models of independence and femininity - just what you need when you go to a boy's school!

And to keep up the continuing theme of nature I took these shots in my back garden where there are still some bluebells remaining - they look so pretty :)

bluebell wood

The trees are bare, the sun is cold,

And seldom, seldom seen;

The heavens have lost their zone of gold,

And earth her robe of green.

From The Bluebell, Emily Brontë

A quick weekend meet-up, taking advantage of the very short bluebell season.

When I saw Jil's recent post on the bluebell wood I mentioned it to my friends, and one of them said there was a similar one near to him. So, after a seemingly never ending day at work, we took a short car ride, and ended up here.

Bluebells are one of my favourite flowers, up there with daisies and hydrangeas.

A few people actually seemed interested to see my work!

Sorry for the terrible quality of the photos, but I only had my phone with me.

In the first photo you can see a triptych of acrylic paintings I did (the first two feature illustrate my pillowcase, the third is of myself) as preparation for my final piece.

The second photo is an acrylic painting over three pieces of A1 paper, with ribbons added on to the skirt.

Fingers crossed my grade is okay....!
