They seem to be popular in very old domestic gardens. My great aunt had one that completely covered their backyard shed.

In the Garden is a watercolour painting with the subject of a small branch I found as I was weeding the garden . I was ready to throw it onto the compost heap but then noticed how pretty the leaves were and decided to paint it instead.

It is nearing the end of summer here. I have recently noticed some trees are changing from green to touches of yellow as Autumn approaches.

I saw and old apple tree in a workshop yard in Tasmania and had to paint it. I have to admit that I have eaten a few apples from this tree.
