Sunday sketches. One of my favorite winter bird visitors is the white-throated sparrow. I love their little yellow eyebrows.

Watching hooded crows dance around a dumpster can remind you that perhaps you should be spending your day filled with as much enthusiasm crows have with dumpsters.

Personally, i’ll stick to cafes for lunch but to each their own..

Ever since his childhood visits to Kensington Gardens, Paul Nash had been drawn to trees - they held a spiritual quality for him. The tranquillity in this work from 1911, is heightened by the inclusion of birds which he saw as an emblem of freedom.

‘A Black Afternoon’
Charcoal & Varnish sketch.

'Over wide open stretches of undulating fields the wind blew furiously, icy cold cutting like a razor. Clustered here and there were oases of timeless pools within black wet forests that fractured the driving force, dissipating it for sweet relief.'
