Have a lovely weekend!    🙂

Birds, On my front fence ...

On my fence…

On my front fence a week ago…

I’ve messed about with my camera settings (Nikon D3000), the light was poor, and my front window glass was grubby.

I think I had the camera on freeze action so I could get the softer background. I’m almost ready to begin full manual control – then I will have only myself to blame.

you don’t scare me … much

 

Thanks for looking.

I hope you have a good day!   🙂

Retro Sketchbook:Sheep

 

I’m sharing another page from my 1970s sketchbook. The sheep in the featured image were drawn on my 15th birthday. The sketchbook was a birthday present.

Some time later, I have entertained myself by ‘improving’ the pencil work with a red ballpoint.  Later, when I began oil painting, I began signing my artworks using ‘Teen’. That is the name used by my family.

At the time, we rented an old farm house on a sheep farm on the outskirts of Hamilton, Victoria.

I wonder why I crossed out the sheep head on the top right – it looks pretty good to me now! I think it is a lamb, as is the one on the top left. I really should try sketching the sheep next door. When we are done with winter, I shall give it a go.

Thanks for looking! I hope you are about to enjoy a great weekend.  🙂
