Glengavel Water, mixed media in sketchbook, 18x2x25cm.
Sitting on my little fold-away chair in the sun under the branches of a straggly tree the running water was sending me to sleep like some old cat content to simply be alive.
But that's not why I was out here! I was here to draw, and half-a-mile down the road I spotted this huge buzzard hovering over the hillside:
"Cairnsaigh Hill", charcoal on paper, 30x40cm.
And a mile further on this big lump o' a hill sticking out of the otherwise flat landscape:
"Loudon Hill from the South", charcoal on paper, 30x40cm.
This great rock, with scrubby trees growing out from it's sides like some sort of garnish on a great plum pudding:
"Loudon Hill from the West", charcoal on paper, 30x40cm.
Just enough time to make these charcoal sketches then off home again as the sun dipped towards the horizon.
A happy days work methinks!

You have sunshine up there ?!? I thought that was a myth ;o) Great sketches as always. I hope you get some more sunny days soon.
Walter-wall, Lisa, except when it's raining.
Another fine day today - that's three in a row (I must have been very righteous :o) but far too cold to be sitting around in the great outdoors even with thermals!
Thanks, I was very pleased with the sketches - the trick will be to see if I can make anything more of them.
