I am going to have a go at a picture of a Sedge Warbler, taken from one of my own photos. Fab little birds, with a chaotic little song, but a real sound of summer where there is a lot of bramble and sedge around.
At this stage shown I have literally `mapped out` the main areas of the subject, and will next mask out the all important highlight to the eye and possibly one or two other areas. These will remain masked until near the end of the painting.
I managed to do a brief card-drop around some businesses in Swansea this morning, and called in to a photographic studio in Llanelli that I may use sometime time the future. Thank you to all those who willingly accepted a few cards while I was doing my rounds.
Yesterday, along with hundreds of other people, I got caught in the storm that went through the Neath & Port Talbot area that resulted in flash flooding. I only went out for a yorkie bar, and ended up having to go through pavements more than ankle-deep! Still trying to dry out the shoes and suit trousers now! That will teach me for having a chocolate moment.
Might try and get a bank holiday BBQ in this weekend - that is almost bound to be an omen for rain.
Have a good bank holiday.
