Photos

While walking our grandpup (our son's dog) above their home in Calver in Derbyshire I took these photos of thirty thousand thistles and a fly on a flower on my phone camera. Haven't things moved on since my first 1KB digital camera!

2 sketches from our outdoor meeting last Tuesday evening with Heeley Art Club at Beauchief Gardens, Sheffield upstream from Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet which you can see on the upper sketch across the mill-pond.

Grateful thanks - blowing through a straw 03

Grateful thanks to the previous generation(s). My father would have been 100 years old this year, I'm 70 in 2 weeks time, our son is 40 and there's a grandchild due later this year. I'm from the lucky generation!

Autumn leaves in Dundee last Wednesday - using the Auryn app on my iPad - I like the watercolour effect.

England, Sheffield, Ringinglow

There's a small group of poppies in the cornfield opposite Firs Farm on Ringinglow Road. It's on my regular (3.5 mile) speed walk to buy the local paper. The painting is drawn from my memory/imagination - that's supposed to be Hangram Lane in the mid ground and Fulwood/Crimicar Lane in the background. The sheep have their own fields, trees are omitted for clarity! Can you tell I've bought myself some coloured inks.
