I'd like to subscribe to the go-slow movement, but it's been one of those weeks where time is at a premium, so not a lot of time for seeing or drawing nature. Not helped by going to work before it's light and coming home after dark. Not alot of prospect of getting any more time, with our new baby due in the next fortnight, obviously nature and drawing will have to take a back seat.
No worries though, I often spend too long on the fiddly details, quick pics will add a bit more looseness and spotaneity. The last entry was a quick one. Well, at 5 minutes, this oil pastel sketch tops it. World record attempt to follow.
As for the subject matter, I like hedgerows. They're so varied at the moment, some are bare, some are still in leaf. They look so different in different lights. I just love that low winter sunshine, it gives the colours such a zing. And they're so good for wildlife, robins in full song, blackbirds clucking away and the odd redwing over. This bit of hedge is near Knottingley, and in summer will probably provide perches for singing corn buntings.
