#Forest #Soundscape 2
Sudden blustery downpours shake the unseen canopy. I hear the wetness of hundreds of leaves being blown & battered. These sounds momentarily dominate but interestingly don’t overwhelm just calm the morning chorus. The forest breathes. #art #japan #drawing
Holding themselves in stillness, just little shifts & twists.
Almost breaching the surface, pushing against the resistance of the water tension
Caught between the watery world they’ve been born to beneath & the kiss of air above; a promise of a new life of winged freedom to come
#BeesFlying, hovering, nectaring, pursuing, resting & foraging.
Using blind line drawing to explore behaviour & movement.
Females hovering b4 selecting a boom, staying longer to collect both nectar & pollen.
Males taking quick sips to keep fuelled up to patrol for females.
Had the good fortune to spend a couple of weeks in #Scotland.
#Brora & the beautiful expansive sleeping mountains of #Sutherland. Wonderful feeling to sit amongst the frosted burnished bracken listening to the gently flowing burns & gazing across to snow capped #mountains- #bliss
The second #seal #drawing day, wild sea & retreating tide watching a seal spin in the surf. #fieldsketching #greyseals #observationaldrawing #drawnfromlife #markmaking #mixedmedia #art #wildlifeart #horseygap #Norfolk #sealcolony #worksonpaper #keepingasafedistance #happytimes
A few #sketches from my 1st day #drawing seals at #Horsey Beach.There were #seals as far as the eye could see; an unbelievably magnificent sight & a real first for me. #fieldsketching #greyseals #sealpups #markmaking #mixedmedia #art #wildlifeart #horseygap #Norfolk #sealcolony
