Well done to all. As beautiful as ever.
Huge congrats to designers and exhibitors alike.

Working on finishing this painting today, the image is the work in progress sketch.
The original is 50 x 33cm, so quite a large original. In the sketch the design isn’t quite strong enough to carry the central image, which I am rectifying today - cups of tea permitting.

I saw the bike leaning against a fence on a French island many years ago.

I love the classic design and the beautiful panier, as well as the comfy looking seat 😳

Sunshine has inspired thoughts of flowering fragrance.
Sweet peas planted in toilet roll tubes, don’t sound overly exotic, but these are “Perfume Delight”, which are extremely fragrant.
Somebody on YouTube showed me how if you sow the seeds in tubes, then plant the whole lot in the ground. The tubes biodegrade and you haven’t pulled the roots apart, which Sweet Peas really don’t like.
Monty says you should sow them before April. These seeds were from last year; so I’m hoping they’ll still germinate!

Monty Don and Arit Anderson in 2023 at RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
I was the designer (then trading as Well Street Studio) who worked with the plant raiser to design their “Keep calm and grow British” plant stand. The team built the living plant wall, I designed the plant bed crown, textiles and wall murals for interior and exterior walls, as well as sourced furniture and developed the multi functional sustainable theme.
Great time had by all!
