art bit -
thought I would have another try at the Graphitint pencils, so the drawing is done with those with an added watercolour wash.
It's a bit of the nearby church, not exactly plein air but from inside because of the rain
For me it definitely is, I hate being a passenger in a car and if I have to do it I sit up front
Take care of those gashes @Muddy Cyclist and cover up folks or you will need to invent a pron star name for zoom.
Another good piece of work in a different style, like the seed heads giving some depth, it will be interesting to see how you handle the light.
I really like these sketches, the understated yet detailed - Beethovens 7th - I always think of Beethoven as the first rock star and especially like The Eroica (3rd).
Thank you for your comments. Pencil and wash - I like it, for some reason it reminds me of St Emiliongood evening all
was 4.4 this morning - which seems a long time ago
out early to the big shed for volunteering then picked up some take away for dinner, very nice chicken shashlik with side salad and coleslaw, without the Turkish bread
Hope your day is treating you mostly gently
@gennepher - interesting painting today, I like it, it's a curious sort of blend of old and young feeling with it's slight, mysterious smile, rather Gaia-esque
@dunelm - nice, calming. Like a cross betwen dandelion clocks and slow blooming fireworks
@Alien Aspie - is flying like driving, less nausea inducing when you're the one in control? (I used to be travel sick all the time when I was younger
@Muddy Cyclist - ouchy! - hope the scrapes heal quickly.
Like the plein air sketch very much, that's a lovely sky

Not meant to drink it.
I loved the dinky train around the vineyards and the main square where we had a very serviceable meal of ostrich steak with Roquefort (and a pretentious oaf loudly giving everyone a (poor) wine tasting lesson)
I think it’s the style of some of the paintings that they sell there. Either that, or there is a wine label lurking.
Seed heads working well - will be interesting to see where the light pops in.
Very Grimm Bros Inc - or the inside of DJT's mind.
Thank you. Beethoven was probably genetically engineered into my soul by my father. He would lock himself in the front room, put a 78 on the old gramophone, pinch one of moms knitting needles and conduct whole Symphonies, he had wild hair and would appear at the end exhausted and disheveled. He used to take us to concerts and sit with the complete score to a symphony following it through to the end. In those days complete scores in A5 sized books could be purchased, probably not all of the instrument parts.
That's a very detailed and well executed sketch, like it very much. Enjoy your little visitors.

You are right about my camper van definitely good job it's now not a chicken coop.
