Drawn things : Scilly view and portrait of the artist as a terrifying old trout.

[bunn]

I drew this in the garden when we were on holiday. It took me much longer than I expected (buildings are hard, and so are coloured pencils!) and is a bit meh, really, but I like the swirly sky, and that spike in the middle distance is where Brythen found the dead seal, to his enormous delight.  The island opposite is Tresco, and the building you can just see behind the dunes in the middle distance is Tresco Abbey.



Quick charcoal thing. Although I am pretty sure if this was not a self portrait, any self-respecting subject would be horrified by it, I rather like it. I look menacing. I quite like looking menacing.

Oh, I like the landscape! Very pretty. The self portrait is pretty great too, although I am sure you do not actually look that menacing.

Van Gogh sky! I like it.

And you do look menacing in that picture.

Lovely detail on the landscape.

Your self-portrait looks a bit like you're scheming. >=D

Mmm . . . Nice landscape!

I think you look firm and thoughtful.
