spring

I know it's almost spring, but my favorite season is Fall, so every time it isn't Fall, I miss it.

I finished this drawing a day after I hiked to the top of the rocks, I did this during spring break this year in 2018. (Drawing is 6x4 inches in size. ) TIME: 1 hour 20 minutes

Playing with some experimental media while drawing from life with my students last spring. Gearing up for new sessions in a couple weeks.

Looking at other people's workspaces makes my one look boring by comparison. Anyway, here's where I spring clean my head of ideas – with all me electronics and toys and that!

“Just as the permanent foundation of the ground provides the springboard for voyages into outer space, so it is with the more mysterious flights of imagination.” — Roland Penrose.

When even preparing for Beltane festivities doesn’t stop you from drawing, hehehe!

A passage from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files struck a chord with me… “I’m worried my thoughts might slip away, as with a dream.”

Venturing into Spring again soon! About time…

Casually racing through it with all the drawings… hence why it’s new sketchbook time already, hahaha! As we leave spring behind, meet “Summer Eyes”.

Time for Easter flavoured narwhals!

Forsythia is in full bloom, and the cherries, magnolia, and dogwoods are next. Spring is here!

Sunny springtime in Edinburgh = curious narwhals.

The warm weather in Edinburgh today got me inspired yet again! About time, winter was just too… winter, for my tastes.

They are out in force meaning spring has finally arrived here

Weirdly enough, I never used to feel bothered by winter. A sign I’m “getting on a bit” as they say? I’m 32 come April, not 102 for feck’s sake! Whatever the case, roll on spring and general warmth, long overdue I have to say…

Post-Beltane open meeting scribble time!

Over here in Edinburgh, February has outdone the month before it with it’s cold spells! Spring, summer, warmth… hurry up please?

Beltane season is almost upon us again… at last!

Something of the “Wyatting” sort myself!

Cut-up poetry time!

To all my spiritual friends out there… if you can throw us some magic to warm up the weather that’d be great, heheheh!

Feeling extra inspired today, it seems!

Into March we go!

I’ll be honest, 2024’s not been too bad mostly but the recent crap weather in Scotland has a lot to answer for. Cold and miserable? Sure, but it’s not exactly been winter as we know it. Roll on spring! In lighter news... happy Pokemon day :-D

Everybody's in a hurry to get outside; can't wait for spring to get here

Mixed media, made with coffee stain, pen and Azure markers. Great for spring (although it's snowing outside at the moment, here... ugh).
