art and no rain
Posted: Thursday, 22 May 2008 |
still pushing on with the painting and drawing, haven’t done much sewing recently so need to change that, I did some more on the flowers at the Tuesday art group and I am getting bored with them so that’s it for now,
tried some colour at figure drawing on Wednesday, they had some pastels there for anyone to use so after I got started with graphite I then decided to have a go with the pastels, not bad for me (please note I am not being immodest I know how bad I am and so ‘for me’ it’s not too bad)
haven’t been in the garden much yet this week and it is starting to look dry, this is a photo of the ditch at the front of the house between my garden and the road,
I have seen it low before but I have not seen dry stones before, though last week when I did some digging I found just 2-3 inches down the earth is quite damp, not wet but very damp,
have a nice bank holiday everyone,

You're being too modest IT, the pastels are very good.

thanks Carol, it is probably a fluke though, when things seem to go alright I am not experienced enough to know just how I did it,

Flying Cat from an admiring glance
thanks roy and fc for supporting comments, roy, yes I know we are much better off than most of oz, I have virtural friends in oz and there was a short programme about your 10 year drought (omg) on the radio a week or two ago, it is such a surprise that the ditch has gone so dry,
