Still here!!

I've been away from the art studio 

for a couple of months

travelling and ....well .....

generally enjoying myself!

Although I haven't taken the time

 to do much sketching

 I has been taking lots and lots

 of photos 

which should prove to be very useful 

during the cold winter months.

In the meantime 

here a few examples 

that don't need any artistic intervention....

the photo says it all! 

 

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!
