continuing Green leaves

Doing a little bit at a time.

Once most of the colour is on I will burnish then add colour where needed and crisp up edges at the end.

Today

The green leaves are progressing slowly so I thought I would post something I did years ago when I was doing oils. I did several sheets of practice items to get the horse colours right and this is one - about 6x7".

Fortunately I have written by each sketch the oil colours I used to get the result so when I get back into oils, I won't have to start at the beginning again hopefully.

This afternooon is the writers' group meeting I belong to . We email our stories or excerpts a week before and then get together to discuss each in turn. I don't need lunch or dinner on these days because we all bring a plate and I eat too much.

Tomorrow I am writing for the Horse Society dressage and will be taking photos. I is supposed to rain but I'm sure I'll get some photos. I know more the shots I am after now and some close-ups of heads woul be good.

Update

I'm Getting a real buz out of the OWOH world-wide blogger connection.

It has made me realise how little info I have on my profile so I have added a photo and some more details.

Currently I am working on this coloured pencil drawing. 9 x 13"

Saying that, I had better actually do some more on it. Been toobusy visiting others' blogs!!

One World One Heart

Lisa Oceandreamer from Heart of the Nest and Imagination Cafe is the organiser of this annual event which is designed to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way.





I am offering two lots of three postcards - a mixture of collage, homemade stamps and hand drawn and painted.

The draw will be on the 14th February. About to happen!

89 comments and no more as I will pick two from this list.

Here again

Made a promise to myself that I will update regularly. I have been enjoying reading other people's blogs and can't tell them about mine unless I have one that is current!

I have done some pastels but more coloured pencils. I have just sold one of Autumn Leaves. 9 x 13".

I liked doing this so much, I have started another with green maple leaves.

The biggest news during my absence from posting, is the birth of our grandaughter, Charlotte Alessandra.

It's February and the locusts are starting to drown out the bird song.

I have been doing a lot of walking and taking photos of the bush and anything else - mainly plants, the cat, Charlotte and Xavier, birds. Half of the bird ones get deleted as they are too small or out of focus.

It's funny how you take a photo and the pose looks weird or impossible because the camera catches a movement part-way through. Our eye sees the end of a movement and not the middle.
