Hi everyone Sorry I’ve not posted for a while….I’m on a different treatment now and it’s taken a few weeks to get it sorted.  Then my oncologist was kind enough to say he didn’t need to see me for two weeks instead of one so we jumped in our motorhome the next day and headed […]

Love to paint loosely!

16th June 2017 Dawn Catmull 4 Comments Acrylics
