Gateway sketch

-
Well, I don't have a lot more to say here, other than: here's the sketch I did a couple of days ago, while out for a short walk on the bridle path between Scleddau (Cefn Road) and Pendre, Fishguard. It was a lovely day with bright sun, but with a haar - cool sea fog - rolling in and out of Goodwick, Lower Town and the Gwaun Valley all day long. The chilly breeze though, didn't spoil our sunny panoramic countryside views on a walk punctuated by exchanges with other walkers and friends, also seeing and hearing skylarks and stonechats, among others.

Hands-up, I have been extremely tardy with my posts here of late. I'm not sure what happened, I did get very busy with work in February/March and my objective of regular sketching did also slip somewhat. Some of the weather we've been having hasn't helped much and has meant I have been out drawing or painting less than I'd like to have done. Excuses over, I shall now endeavour to try and catch up a bit with some drawings I scanned from late last year and then maybe get onto some more recent ones that deserve an airing. And create more art, obviously. This is a quick-ish sketch of Tower Hill, Fishguard seen from Penslade.

Making an effort

Despite a fairly busy day (decorating mostly), I put my mind to getting out and doing some more drawing this morning. I stopped short of getting the 'colours' out, because of limited time available (lousy excuse?), but I drew these two different views at Lower Town - the first in charcoal and the second in pencil. Both were on an A3 pad, which I had a bit of a scuffle with the wind over, as it was trying to wrest the pages from me as I drew - par for the course around here...
