Ocean View

Ocean View

The Atlantic Ocean from the Isle of Barra, Scotland.

This is the reference photo I’ve chosen for my next drawing. It was taken on a camping trip and our tent was pitched just behind the dunes which reached down to this beach.

The jagged Black Cuillin mountain range on the Isle of Skye looking hazy and blue as the sun was setting.

An analogue photo from a camping trip. There's something atmospheric about the fuzziness of pre-digital cameras that I really like.

Pencil drawing, approx 135mm x 107mm.

The Great Stone Chute, Sgurr Alasdair, Isle of Skye, Scotland.

It gives me chills looking at our photos taken of the Black Cuillin mountain range. A lug on the sole of P's walking boots was cleanly sheared off when he 'stone-surfed' his way down the Great Stone Chute.

Re-connecting

I've been absent from Tumblr while I've been writing my workbook so apologies to the people who I've had brief but wonderful convos with, particularly @robertpallesen, @bohemiansthings, @claypigeonpottery, @kaisercaimo, @felicity-b, and @bluebelly-sun-serpentine

I'm looking forward to seeing and reading your posts again.

Another odd drawing. Insect? Flower? Hybrid of the two?
