An Artist's Day Out - Scotland's Gardens

What a treat for my husband John and I to stay with Lorna and Michael Hunter in Newcastle at their lovely home and see their totally amazing garden. Lorna has been coming to Quilter’s Affair for 15 years.

It was an overcast day when we arrived and the light was perfect for taking pictures...

Lorna’s friend was having a garden tour at her estate...
It was beautiful, and had some very interesting structures.

There is something wonderful about traveling to a new place you have never been, and seeing things for the first time. I am always looking for line, texture, and color ideas.

We also visited the Royal Botanical Garden in Edinburgh--we'll post those photos in a later installment.
Enjoy!
