Wild life - The One That Got Away

If you have followed this blog 

you know how much I rely on my camera. 

Photos don't replace working out doors 

but are an invaluable resource 

 complementing outdoor sketches, 

painting and notes.

The previous examples 
are from my collection 
when I happened to be at the right time 
and place ........

to capture that fleeting moment 

that passes so quickly.

I'm not always so lucky ...

This pastel celebrates the moment
 after focusing, composing, steadying the camera
you discover the subject has fled the scene!

Light in the Undergrowth - pastel

Light in the undergrowth

This pastel was inspired by a series of photos 

I'd taken of light 

filtered through the spring woods

onto the forest floor.

Boosting the Energy

 As a change of pace from the subtlety of the May  sky studies

 I used these recent photos 

from my spring camping vacation

to experiment with colour 

and a more energetic approach 

to composition.
