I've been up the allotments at the end of my lane as I know you can see the village church from there. Unfortunately though, in order to get enough detail of the run of cottages and the church tower, I dont get much in the same view from the allotments to make an interesting composition, so I sketched this shed front and back from another area thinking it might be useful in a final piece of work. ... but then
I saw a lovely patch of cabbages with torquoise netting thrown round on poles. Thats more like it I thought. So I sketched the distant buildings in my moleskin book lovely Anita gave me .. then added the cabbages on the botom half of the page.
Could work but then I spied some geese with runs and sheds and some chickens and photo'd them in case they get added finally. Who knows how it will proceed once I start on my lovely Sanders Waterford 16 x 20 inch water colour paper.
By the way, why has my visitor counter gone back to 3 when it was over 200 earlier in the week???

Your counter is set for the month instead of the year. Where did you get your counter at?
The garden and the church will make a nice painting but I like the shed sketches as a post for your blog.
Great work as always!
My counter did the same Joan, it shouldn't have, it is very naughty.
I'll sort it! ;)
I love that bottom sketch with those red rooves leading to the church.
Thanks for your help folks and for sorting the counter Anita.
I like all of these little sketches - not really sketches, they could make finished paintings easily! Lovely and light and interesting sights to share. Thanks, Joan.
Thanks for pooping in Rhonda to comment on my allotment/church sketches. I am actually in the moment of creating a full size watercolour of the church, cottage roofs and cabbage patch. I thought of adding at least one of the geese that live up there, but it was too cluttered. Pity, I quite fancy a little bit of pure white specific shape in the foreground.
OH HELP - SO SORRY RHONDA. It must have been the reference to cabbages!!!!!!! ie ...'Thanks for popping in....'
