Hilary and Tessa, your sketches are really beautiful. I really enjoyed trying the sketching. Diane, I think you a made a great effort, my sketch went on sideways, I’m still trying to figure that one out.

My apologies for being absent for a while, moving into our new home took longer than expected (still so much to do too). Anyway, I have been following some fantastic sketches in the last couple of weeks and noticed we also have some new sketchers. To get back on the wagon, I tried to capture in pencil an essence of this tree, in our garden, that reminds me of the wind direction in these parts.

Myrtle trees are lovely, I wonder if you’ll get lovely blossom  colours in the spring. Mines a quick sketch of a mini pumpkin and some pine cones.  Halloween soon to be upon us, great for some spooky drawings perhaps?

Hilary, really liked the Welsh hills, your greens are good. Is that a home grown pumpkin? It’s definitely autumn now! However, to cheer us up lovely spring tulips in beautiful warm colours Tessa. Glad you’re settling in Ron with time enough to capture a lovely old Myrtle tree. I have a myrtle bush, I wonder if I let it go it will become a tree, or maybe a different type. I liked your first sketch Denise. If you edit your image before posting it should come out the right way, I got that advise from someone on here when I had the same problem. I liked your little sketch too Diana, but not sure about sizing a photo🤔I’ve got just one more from my holiday sketch book, somewhere in the Highlands en route, suitable for a dog to stretch and wee!

Ron, Hilary and Katy, all lovely sketches. I have been painting most of today but have done this little sketch of one of my brushes.

Smaller, but still not the right way up. Just got to fix my profile picture now! x

A quick sketch from a photo taken this afternoon at a lovely riverside pub in Oxfordshire, a very pretty place. Even The Thames can be attractive this far out! We sat and watched canoeists back and fore.

Thanks Denise. It was such a lovely place which we found by accident, and for once I hadn’t taken a sketch pad!
