Thank for setting it up Gill, I need the gentle push as I’ve become very lazy and not sketching much. My first one a white gel pen five minutes sketch of a tawny owl caught in the light  That’s  a lovely little sketch Denise.

I tought I taw a puddytat.....  A very good puddytat (drawing, that is: big mistake to make a moral judgement about a cat). Makes a change from the 5 generally pestilent dogs we have on and around these premises - I did think of painting a descriptive picture of their leavings, and presenting it to the owner: but of course I won't; anyway, I'd be sick...  I have quite a few sketches completed over the last couple of weeks, which seem to reflect a certain grimness of mood - so much rain that I've not been able to get out: I think I'll become a painter of mud.... no shortage of inspiration there.  Black, inky, scribbly sketches for the most part - if you could all arrange a rapid transition to Spring, it would be much appreciated.  Or even a period of snow?  I shall stop wittering, and post a few: hold yourselves in readiness, and try not to get too excited in anticipation.

Delicate painting by Alan Beresford, Dixie's tawny owl (very economically done, but completely recognizable - one day, when I'm bored and want to bore you, I'll tell you a story about a tawny owl that came within a milimetere of colliding with me), Gillian's first of the year, AND - we're so lucky! - what I presume was another spammer.   Gillian, I will post a few of mine, though sketches is all they are, and I'll have to scan them because there's not enough light within, or dry weather without, to take decent photos.  Think I might do better with the Ipad, if only I could screw up my pathetic old-man's courage (don't say "child" again, Slyvia - we all know you're in the lead in the old age stakes!) to force-start it and set it up properly.   If you happen to be passing, anyone, perhaps you'd come and hold my hand while I get on with it: there are children I could ask, but it's so embarrassing.

PS - Is that a buzzard, Gillian?  We never saw them when I was a child, or youth, and now they're out and about whenever there's a clear sky and they can soar on the thermals (which means they must be really fed up at the moment).
