Last weekend we visited an artist friend (see her cracking
web site) and had a short discussion about my attempts. It seems I'm trying to walk before I can run. Her advice was to tear up all my attempts once I've finished with them. That way, I won't have any attachment to them and can move on. I can see the sense in that, but part of m ewants to keep the early mistakes, so I can look back later and laugh (as many of you may be doing right now!)
Anyway, I dug out an old sketch book from a few years ago and thought I'd post a couple of pictures here, for posterity. They are some of my earliest attempts at watercolour, from 2004.
Today's picture is a slightly blurred picture, at an obscure angle, of the Boscawen-Un circle in West Penwith. If you ever see only one stone circle in your life, make it this one - it's truly magical and one of my favourite places to go to just sit and 'be'.
