Moving on

I have made a tentative start in a new sketchbook, silver birch trees with there bright yellow ochre leaves set against a backdrop of blue and grey skies are the inspiration.

Autumn Shades

I haven't taken that many photos this Autumn, the weather has been pretty dreadful, rain, rain and more rain it's been a bit of a grey year.

Black and White

I went for a short walk today with the intention of photographing some Autumn colour, but came back with these black and white images instead.

Sketchbook and other bits and pieces.

I am not having a very productive week this week, far to many distractions and I just cannot concentrate. Painting number 3 is on hold at the moment so I decided to have some fun painting more stones, some wood and a little bit of sketchbook work.

Clover Field

I have this strange obsession with dead plants, thought I would share with you my most recent find.

I don't know what the plant is so if anybody can enlighten me I would be grateful. A few weeks ago it looked like this.

The painting that I am working on currently is inspired by the lovely yellow ochre colour of these leaves.

Sketchbook Pages Autumn Inspiration

Just a short post with a couple of pictures from my sketchbook inspired by Autumn. The leaves are falling of the trees quickly now and I feel like I am running out of time to get all my ideas down. We had a big change in temperature over the weekend and our first frost of the year this morning, winter is definitely on it's way.
