Decided to try my hand and painting leaves, and blossom

Autumnal

I’ve been enjoying the autumnal colours in the Eden Valley this year, okay in reality I’ve become obsessed with leaves (and fungi) again

Leaves, Trees, Fells and Stones

A mixed bag of images, mainly because the light kept changing and one minute you thought there wasn’t any point in carrying a camera and the next you couldn’t take enough photographs Anyway, my day started off taking photographs of leaves and trees by the pond, after a pause I was taking photographs at Long Meg and her Daughters stone circle, I ended the day taking a large panoramic of the Pennines…

If you go down to the woods today

This afternoon was the first really dry day with reasonable light we’d had for ages, so I put the camera and a sketchbook in my bag then went for a wander in the woods. I spent quite some time photographing leaves to use as reference for paintings/drawings then started sketching. From the (far too many) photographs which I took down in the woods it wasn’t a leaf which I liked on the screen back at home, it was one of a patch of light on a mossy branch, almost a piece of life in miniature

Standing there sketching leaves I noticed how the shadow of leaves was playing across the sketchbook, it was an effect I quite liked…

Frosty

A couple of images from our little World, well it feels like a little World as the fog has been quite low for a few days meaning you couldn’t see very far at all. Thankfully the fog has cleared along with the frost this afternoon.
