Treasures...


Herinner je je nog dat je ze vond toen je een kind was? Het waren echte schatten!
Ik vond ze in het park gisteren.
Herfst.

Remember you found them when you were a child? They were real treasures!
I found them in the park yesterday.
Autumn.

  1. That makes me feel all nostalgic remembering how I used to search for conkers as a child, gorgeous loose watercolour!

  2. Dear Judy, I have not painted, as you did (with such refined semplicity!) but I also picked up this in an avenue of Pavia, last Saturday.
    Who paints remains close to the child that was ... I wish you sweet dreams, dear friend!

  5. Hi Judy. You have captured beautifully the gorgeous colours of autumn in your lovely watercolour. I have a conker I found 13 years ago with my son which I keep in my car. It still looks as fresh as the day we found it. It's definitely a treasure for us. I still go looking for these now. xx

    Thank you Susan!

    Thanks Kathryn! I had a chestnut tree in my back garden but sadly it died. We had buckets full of chestnuts in autumn! I still miss that tree!

  11. Hi Judy, it's nice to see how you can transform a simple object, like two peanuts, in a lovely watercolor. This is the magic of art.....that not everyone is allowed to reach. Ciao!

  16. What a lovely painting!

    Horse Chestnut - the 'Conker'. We used to bake them in vinegar, because it made them extra hard ... it never worked! My conker never lasted very long.

  18. Lydie, Sonia, Tito, Renske, Hilda, Ina, Sandra, Renate, John, Konstantina: thank you very very much!

    It is nice to read that you all have your own (childhood) memories of conkers!

    John, I have watched the youtube-video, great! I don't know the game, we made little men out of the conkers with matchsticks for legs and arms. I don't think there is a way to preserve them, they all loose their shine and shrivel up. :(

  29. This brings back lovely memories. Like John Simlett, I used to play 'conkers' as a boy. Never was any good at it though. lol. I'm always impressed by how you can make a simple subject, so artistic. Great work.
