546 - Ventnor Cascade square tray I enjoy drawing the twistingWith its sweeping raised path, amazing views and tropical plants Ventnor Cascade on the Isle of Wight is a joy to stroll down. It's less fun going back up but there is plenty to distract you. Ventnor is South facing and well known for it's micro climate, mediterranean flowers and shrubs thrive much to botanists delight. This is a large 50x40cm painting with a huge amount of detail and some humorous characters to spot.
