Backyard, day 1

Usually I do not sit in the backyard.  It is overgrown and not many nice places to sit.  There is a large fallen tree that has been there since we moved in.  It has moss and little plants growing on it.

There were some things about the way I painted the first one that I would do differently.  I started a second one, but decided that was enough for one day.

Long car ride

I never seem to have uninterrupted time of more than an hour or so lately.  Yesterday I was in the car for a two-and-a-half hour ride.  I made this picture on the iPad.  It is from my imagination.  I still enjoy pictures of water.  It is more interesting if there are rocks to force the water to change its path.

Edinburgh Castle

I'm glad I made myself do some sketching today.

I hope to do more art tomorrow.

Sketch of leaves

I just like to draw leaves.  I did not want another day to go by without time to draw or paint, so I made this sketch in the few minutes I have before I set out for the day.
