Spring sunshine continues...
What an amazing start to Spring!
I have been sketching, drawing and painting in and around Cantlop over the Winter, hence a snow painting is included in my Spring 2025 online gallery.
I have also been visiting Wildegoose Nursery in preparation for 'Drawn from the Earth', a 3day exhibition in the Walled Garden, 4th to 6th September. Jack and Laura have invited a selection of artists working in traditional materials. I will be exhibiting paintings and drawings that I will have made throughout the year.
As always, a big thank you to all of you wonderful customers, I hope you will enjoy following my progress and hopefully come to the exhibition at Wildegoose Nursery in early September.
Thank you, with love, Mary x

The Garden
When we moved into the Shippen, the garden was a grassed area bordered by a traditional mixed hedge. It was a blank canvas. Wildegoose Nursery planned and planted a wonderful mix of perennials and grasses that have matured into a haven for birds and insects.
Seasonal sketches of the garden will be for sale in the Garden Collection and Available Work.
Cantlop
Cantlop is the geographic centre of Shropshire. The name was first recorded in the Domesday Book as Cantelop and could have been named by Norman knights, from chante lou (sing wolf). These days it is a slightly untidy settlement of houses, converted barns and farms, and is pleasantly unremarkable, with the exception of the historic Cantlop Pump.
