A day drawing

Woke to grey skies that turned blue very quickly. Tis funny how the weather so influences ones mood and direction. Was deliberating whether to go to the basin and draw or edit video at the cottage when a shaft of light throught the window meant that I opted for the hike along the zig-zag track and onto the first basin. I walked around for a bit before settling in on a grassed area near the water.
I saw a Glover like vista (for magnitude n mood) before me and thought -I'll have a go.  Spent the next four hours drawing a detailed and intricate scene....which i'll have to go back to, to finish. What I love about drawing is seeing. Seeing the detail, the patterns and the rhythms of whatever is in front of you.














Came home exhausted but happy and organised myself to talk to  the Arts reporter from The Examiner to drum up an audience for the night-time video installations.

Its 6:38 local time and I have just glanced out the window to see the sun hitting a piece of rock that i hadn't noticed before.....hmmm so much to do. :-)
