Pheasants

 

Pheasants at Wrest Park (English Heritage, Beds). They were quite happy foraging amongst dead leaves only a few metres away from me and proved an interesting challenge to sketch. Whilst I was drawing, a robin came on perched on a branch almost within hand’s reach and was quite happy flitting around me whilst I drew.

Anglesey Abbey, Cambridgeshire

Two sketches made today at Anglesey Abbey (National Trust). A beech tree amongst the daffodils and the Winter Garden: blue glory of the snow (Chionodoxa), purple/blue/pink lungwort (Pulmonaria), magenta elephant’s ears (Bergenia) and white paper birch trees.

 

Red Dead-nettle

 

Red dead-nettle on a roadside verge in Clophill, Bedfordshire. I took a few photos whilst on a walk today then sketched this in the evening on the iPad.

Sowing Seeds

Sowing climbing bean seeds in the greenhouse yesterday.

 

Sketching in Hitchin

It was cold in Hitchin today so I wrapped up warm and did some quick iPad sketches. Looking forward to the town opening up again with more people out and about and events returning to the town centre.
