Frome (pronounced Froom) is a very picturesque market town in England built on steep hills.
I house-sat in Frome for friends who were away a few days at a wedding. Before leaving, my artist friend showed me how to make monoprints (see below) in her studio and I discovered another fun way to make images. However, Frome is perfect for a watercolourist, so I spent most of my time wandering the streets with my watercolours, painting as I explored.

My friends took me for a drive through the surrounding countryside and stopped by the river at Tellisford, watching the children jump from the trees there into the river below.

My first attempts at monoprinting. (You can see why I preferred to stick to watercolour painting.)
