Nice horse Dixie. Our daughters were always horse mad as kids, one still works with and has her own horses. Sounds like you have a lovely connection with your grandchildren especially in the art sense.  Talking of grandchildren, we took our little grandson to Birdland in Bourton on Tuesday before the virus hit, and this is from a photo I took on the day, of him and his dad. Since we went last there is a Dinosaur Journey behind the bird area, and he is mad on dinosaurs so loved it!

Like that Tessa , last time I was in Broughton on the Water was pre Covid. It’s a place I do love to visit its  about an hour or so away from me . I’ve never taken my sketch pad with me , love the mill at Lower Slaughter . It must be ten years since I last went to Birdland. Mt two youngest granddaughters have always loved to sit and help me painting, sometimes not worked out so good, they both love to draw and paint.

Dinosaurs, what a great subject. I did a sketch of snow drops in pastel pencil then decided to work on it for half an hour.

Nice rustic mirror Gillian. I always like a bit of driftwood from the beach. Dixie you need to bring your sketch book this way when things pick up. I just heard that Birdland was closed for two days because of Avian flu on the New year, and that two of the penguins sadly died.

Well, I'm still avoiding daily sketch lol, and I feel you do it for me (joke) ;) Your daily sketches are well done dear friends! I'm big fan of dinosaurs myself, I bet I didn't grown up just yet  ;) As far as I'm aware we have dinosaurs these days too... crocodiles ;) Crocodiles share a heritage with dinosaurs as part of a group known as archosaurs (“ruling reptiles”), who date back to the Early Triassic period (250 million years ago). The earliest crocodilian, meanwhile, evolved around 95 million years ago, in the Late Cretaceous period. There's ancient fish discovered not so long ago too... Coelacanth.  Coelacanth are a fish that scientists ruled to have gone extinct with the dinosaurs around 65 million years ago… only for it to be rediscovered in 1938! That means that these enormous fish have been around for 360 million years. I remember one more water species, that lives since dinosaurs age... It's Horseshoe crab. The horseshoe crab is one of evolution's ultimate survivors, dating back 450 million years—outliving the dawn of dinosaurs and five mass extinctions.

Start as I mean to go on I say ( can but be positive! ) so a pastel sketch  didn’t take long and really experimenting with them!
