“THE FLOWERS OF BARNSDALE GARDENS” An original painting by artist Charron Pugsley-Hill
Having enjoyed watching Gardeners World from a time even before I had my own garden I just had to paint the flowers of Barnsdale when I became an artist and had the confidence to do so. I remember sitting on the sofa with my mother so many years ago discussing the beauty of the flowers […]
