| 6/9/26 Maple Leaf Park |
We had a couple days of strong wind a few weeks back. The
two sketches above were my attempts to capture that wind – first at Maple Leaf
Park and then again with a single tree on my walk home. I think the single tree
captured it better, though some of the energy might be apparent at the park.
The rest of these are more fitness walk-sketches from the past
month or so. The colorful pages are the result of using my first
handbound sketchbook from UglyPads. I’ve now filled that one, but I
haven’t made another yet. Standard staples are a bit too short for the number
of pages I had stacked, and the book started falling apart after I passed the
midway point. I had to patch it together with washi tape to finish it. I think
I’m going to have to get my bookbinding materials out and stitch the next one.

Your simple compositions are the best. I agree that the single tree shows the wind better. Love the addition of the street light in front of the gnarly tree trunk.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I always look for compositions that juxtapose someone organic like a tree with something human-made like the lamp post.
DeleteIt really makes a difference.
DeleteNice details to the tree trunks. The one with the bubbles made me smile.
