Reflections, I see you
Like a glass of fizz
Blown bubbles
Or looking through a window
And paperweights can be glass
Bottles may pop
Alchemy of sand
Melts into liquid beauty.

Beautiful
Since todays prompt is beautiful I decided to draw a beautiful view of the Ukraine. So sad about what is happening. Felt pen drawing, #bandofsketchers. I love the mist coming down over the hills obscuring the pine trees.
Race to me
Run to me
Race across the fields
Rush like the wind
Raise dust with your hooves.
Gallop fast
Gather your strength
Give your heart to the world
Gentle and strong.
Fly like a bird
Full of excitement
From steepest of mountains
Farthest shores.
Horse, men call you
Held in esteem
Highest quality of beauty
Happy to see you.
Diversion
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was diversion. This is a totally digital drawing using tools like flower and leaf stamps in the ‘Sketch’ app on my phone. It also has a pixel pen and a ruler that allows you to draw straight lines. I added some crackles and shadows to make it feel like something that has been there for ages. I call it ‘Round the houses’. Or ‘a long way round’!
A Zine…
I tried making a Zine, a concertina of pages with my college images stuck on them. I didn’t know how to make a book and this helped me to work out how to display individual images but as a collection. I intend to try and get pages printed off and then put them in some sort of binder. I also need to do the first inside page and title page plus the front and back covers. I probably don’t need to do the whole thing but it’s a lesson so it’s worth having a go C
Choir time
Go out and sing!
Join together in harmony
Open your mouth and heart.
Let your feelings out!
Sing songs of fun and glory,
Music to enhance your mood
Tunes that fold your memory in them
Like nectar, it is a wonderful food
It holds the world together
Plays through mind and soul
So sing of love and life and feelings
My choir makes me feel whole!
The 3 beaches
Comparisons. The middle drawing was the original and the top and bottom ones are experiments. I love playing with art. Originally part of our #bandofsketchers prompt ‘beach’ based on Bovisand in Devon.
Alien life?
Mammal? Ursine, bearlike, white faced, snowy coat. Is there an abominable snowman? An alien creature or a hidden anthopoid ancestor? Related to the mythical Big foot? Could something survive in hidden valleys up in the mountains? Living in caves. Quiet and intelligent. Their furry bodies insulated against the cold. Would melting glaciers and snow force them higher and higher? Their camouflaged bodies keeping them hidden from the increasing population of mountaineers and walkers encroaching on their space.
A digital drawing of an imagined creature. Making up a history and biology of it is interesting but I don’t have the skills to really write it.
Beach
Beach, #bandofsketchers. Today’s prompt. Felt pens. I also did digital variations. I might put them on another post. Trying for a 1930’s art deco vibe.
