[QUOTE="geefull, post: 2295095, member: 305199"] good evening all :) 4.5 this morning a day at home doing catch up of a few things that were on the 'to do' list (some have been long term residents :hilarious:). A fairly muggy day with a heavy haar for most of the day. mr gee and I went out for a walk in the brief spell of brighter weather we got about 4 o'clock this afternoon and just made it home before the rain arrived :D [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] 's thunder arrived to entertain us over our evening meal, quite unusual in that not only did it rumble but we got noises like lots of firecrackers going off in the distance too. mr gee thinks that it was quite a high level of electrical discharge ;) currently looking out of one window the sky is black and looking out of the other the sun is shining :) the bread maker is chuntering away to itself on the worktop making a small loaf for mr gee so I expect to do my artwork accompanied by the scent of fresh bread ;) A couple of new covid cases reported in the Highland area today, inevitable that the cases will rise with so many people out and about and moving between areas now I suppose. Hope your day is treating you well :) [USER=418659]@alf_Josiah[/USER] - a very thought provoking post, I'm glad you're here and agree that the best tribute must be a life well lived. [USER=193971]@ianpspurs[/USER] - thanks for the info. I presume the 'kettle' is one of those soup dragon specials ;) [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] - lovely art again, very striking (no pun intended :angelic:) I agree, on first aquaintance I'm a bit underwhelmed with the Derwent 'Graphitint' pencils, possibly why I managed to win them on ebay :hilarious: [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] - once again a pleasing piece of work, I especially like the central trees :) [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] - I like your circle of trees though it didn't turn out quite as planned/expected, the glowing light gives them real scale and presence. thanks for the suggestion re the charcoal or softer pencil. I do have a 4B pencil and will give that a go. Two strong sketches today :joyful: art bit - like [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] I'm feeling it's a learning experience to try things inspired by other artists, this one is after an image by an artist [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] mentioned - John Blockley @9x6 painted with the 'white nights' and I had another bash at using the resist.
