So, a few days in Wales and me with an A2 pad of heavy cartridge in the car. I like cartridge sometimes, its smoothness and whiteness.
Up at the stables I took myself off for ten minutes and sat on the concrete churn stand where they used to put the milk for the milk board to collect. No churns any more, no milk board, and now I think about it no cows either.
"Go on, be bold." I said to myself, "Just draw what you feel, it'll come together later."
Just one of those early spring days; rain in the air but
refusing to fall, fields returning to vibrant young green, ever present
mountains ever present. Colour burns my eyes - blues and greens, reds and purples, blue-grey clouds and mottled ochres.
"The shadow keeps changing, light and
dark." Just me with a big, trashed, bold, spirit felt pen.
Scribble, scribble, slash - lost for a few minutes, and back. Wall, hedge, mountains, sky - as seen through my eyes... and more felt than seen.
Like it Andi. Well done for doing it too. I took my sketch book all the way to Rome and never found the moment...

You must always find the moment Joan. For every one I'm happy with there are three that I'm not... but then they grow, and you find yourself liking them later.

ReplyDelete♥ Autumn going into winter - beautiful colours of the falling leaves. But the countryside looks washed out and insipid. It never looks like the lush vibrant green countryside of home. But you can't compare. It is Australia (the lucky country, so they say); so vast that it has: different time zones, vast plains, tropical rain forests, as well as snowy mountains and Ayers Rock (Uluru) ..... If you ever get the chance; come and visit ...
