Bare trees caught the sun in the late afternoon in The Gully where we graze the horses.

Later: 3 June 2008, have presented this image in the Gallery – tweaked it slightly, but it remains #0541. The image above is linked from the images in the gallery, making the database and thumbnails even more “organic”.

There are quite a few sketches of Mt. Lyford our holiday house is right under that mountain – this is the view from the deck. We have just had three days up there. A good time for Kate & I – we will be apart for 5 weeks so we made the best of it. Kate is in Australia and I will be off to the USA on the 25th. When I get back I will just about live up there for a few more months so I will get let this mountain inspire me.

This one is back to “ArtRage Pastels”. Technically it reminds me of two others. Black Birch stream, from which I can learn more about developing the strokes & the colour, and Hill Lines where there is something about abstraction & line I want to develop. Maybe those represent two directions.

Known also as tea-tree and the New Zealand Christmas tree as it always flowers around this time of the year, our place at Mt. Lyford is surrounded by trees with slightly pinkish white flowers.

It is these very flowers that put the small pink emblem into #246 below.

I prefer the previous sketch. Simple.

“Hi Walter, yes I love it thanks. Going to frame it – do you have any suggestions about that would suit it? We have a modern house with off-white walls. Thanks! Hilary”

These last few sketches are not part of some new turn are they? If they recapitulate it is only me they are recapitulating. Yet as I did them I sensed development, perhaps not improvement but some movement in me, and so there is satisfaction.

Also I want this to be a sketch blog, and these are all scenes and moments from my life as I live it. It’s a diary, a travelogue, autobiographical in the most literal way.

Yet there is a turn to make – one I am feeling as a despair as I do this stuff. I don’t know how to do it. Doing more thinking about art, podcasts – conversations will that do it? Or is it a case of sketching my way through it? I think so.
