September sketchbook.

 

Top: An old canal gate, Perlethorpe. This would once have controlled the flow to a Mill, which has long since gone.

Bottom: An imagined sketch of a field after harvest time.

A place to sit.

 

Top: A nice latte by the River Trent

Bottom: A seat at Tithe Green burial grounds, getting rather neglected.

Carbohydrate treats.

 

I am still watching the cholesterol, but a treat now and then doesn't hurt. In this case, a Sainsburys pie. There is no significance in the rainbow. I just liked the mug.

Sketchbook imaginings.

 

More sketches to keep my Twitter / X active. It's too cold to be outside looking for resources and ideas. So let the imagination run free. The sketch of an oak tree in a clearing, is from a theme I worked on several years ago.

What's the pupose?

 

 

I keep my Twitter / X page going, mostly by posting sketches. Maybe it will attract potential customers for my book(s)? The above invoked a question on my Painters On-line page:

“What is the purpose of the white oblongs?”

What indeed?

Aliens.

 

Some silliness on Twitter / X, when I know I really should be writing. This is the problem with social media, even when one is not really sociable. The urge to get noticed overrides all sense.

Landscapes in March.

 

March is my favourite month. The bleakness of January and February hopefully passed.

Pastels in the Park.

 

Weather was fine enough to visit Thoresby Park. I needed a bit of an art reset. So, oil pastels on large, cheep brown wrapping paper was the challenge of the day.

October sketchbook.

 Bridge over River Maun, Ollerton; clouds over Thoresby fields; Thoresby Park country lane. On the look-out again for new subjects. It's getting tricky!
