Karin

Karin by Liza Hirst

We were running around London so much and travelling back to France, that I couldn't keep up with my painting. I am pleased to be back at the easel and actually very pleased with this portrait of my friend Karin! It's been a long time since I did portraits - this makes me feel like doing more of them again.

House on the Park

House on the Park by Liza Hirst

A bit of sunlight in the garden of a suburbian house in London....
This is where I've been waiting for summer this year.

Let's Have a Drink at Oscar's!

Let's Have a Drink at Oscar's by Liza Hirst

Oscar's is a great place in London to have an aperitif around l'heure bleu. Very lively, cozy and maybe even romantic.

Japanese Anemone

Japanese Anemone by Liza Hirst

At last it is sunny and warm enough again to paint outside and the flowers in the garden are lush. I enjoyed painting them but I am not sure about the name. A French friend once gave me some offshoots and I seem to remember her referring to them as anémones japonaises. Anyway, they're among my favourite flowers.
