2006 comes to a close
Had the chance to get in a little bit of fieldwork between Christmas and Hogmannay - the drawings of oystercatcher and swan were made at St. Mary's, Holm as part of a tuition session. It was quite an intense day, but thoroughly enjoyable as I kept working for much longer than I would usually have under similar freezing conditions - hence produced more work (I think I did 8 pages of drawings in total, plus demo., discussion and critique).
Today I took advantage of a beautiful morning and a lull in festivities to wander down the garden to make a few studies of the usual suspects - bar-tailed godwits and knot. They are lovely in the strong, low sunlight.
Ah, well, shortest day has been and gone . . . the year is at an end and so I'm making this last entry in the 2006 sketchbook.
Because it's now time to begin the 2007 sketchbook . . .
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
