Now cos I can't totally leave work alone, I went first thing and put the finishing touches to a 'Pin the Tail on The Discosaur' ready for use in the zoo's Dino Party Room this weekend..it's proper daft (more on this when I have some snaps), and it didn't really feel like work.
The rest of my day revolved around buying and trying out watercolour pencils (finished work good/ location sketching bad) whilst drinking coffee, then falling asleep under a tree, then doing some walking and sketching
Due to recent storms there are still a lot of branches lying about. By far the most interesting at a glance is a huge branch from a willow tree, which twists and curls like smoke - I've been meaning to draw it for ages. Not sure this is a spectator sport, but what the hey - I thoroughly enjoyed myself doing these!
My local park has some lovely trees in it, so I plan to do some more sketching there, although the next chance I get I may have to do some work overcoming my greatest artistic bete noire - the horse.

Funny you should mention horses. On Friday, Mary, Nadine & I were saying how much we like drawing horses. Not much.
Zebras are a whole different thing. I like drawing zebras.
Might be coming to the zoo on Friday. Not that there are zebras there anymore. Been replaced with dinosaurs.
Eaten by dinosaurs, m'dear, eaten by them. GIve me a shout when you come to the zoo if you're around at lunch time! (I work in the central office)
