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?

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!

September sketchbook.

Top to bottom: Clootie tree, Newstead Abbey grounds, Oak Apples, Silver Birch.
 

 I enjoy my sketchbook, and still have no plans at all to ever return to painting. Also, it keeps my Twitter page active, which might be useful to publicize my intended poetry book.

Looking for subjects to sketch.

 It's getting difficult to find new places to sketch. Seen here are a lightning tree in Thoresby Park, Nottingham Rock Cemetery, a bench on a hill in Thoresby Park, and a path leading to Perlethorpe Church.

Newstead Abbey.

 

I find it hard to make something creative out of formal gardens. Hence converting my Newstead Abbey observations to moonlight.
