It
seems ages since I posted at Sunday Sketches. I have been busy
getting my website ready for uploading, which I hope to do in the
first couple of weeks of January. Also I have downloaded the software
from Blurb and started on my children's book Mystery in Arcadia.
I've got the hang of it now, but
realise that I need to do more illustrations. Seeing the layout
before you, gives you a better idea of what is needed.
Anyways, I decided to
show you all a few pages from my sketch books. I have one for
flowers from my garden, and another one for my walks in the local
countryside.
From my garden is a
foxglove (watercolour), I did this a couple of weeks ago. I am glad
I did it then, as the weather is so hot this last week that all the
flowers are fading. The grass is already brown usually that doesn't
happen till mid January.
From the other
sketchbook are sketches of mice at the local reserve. If you sit
really quiet in the long grass in the late afternoon they come and
play. I am drawing mice as I have an idea for a picture book about a
gang of mice.
Also I get plenty of
opportunity to study them as two of my cats, Bro and Lucy often
present them to me as gifts!
Blessings to everyone,
and have a great holiday season.
