Into The Greenness

-
Sometimes the only thing that can heal a rubbish day is to get out into the greenness!
An added bonus was finding these lovely deer. I crept up slowly so they didn't get frightened, although once they spotted me they did stop chewing and began to give me the eye!Aren't they beautiful?

Colour and nature, a day of healing.

Yes, I'd go barking mad if I didn't get out for my walks - I'm amazed and slightly jealous at how near you got to those deer, what great shots!

Thanks Gretel, I was amazed too and expected them to bolt at any moment. I wouldn't have been very popular because there were people at the bottom of the hill taking pictures of them too and I expect they were annoyed that I was so close!

If I have a totem animal it's the deer.
They are such lovely, gentle, beautiful creatures.
Your photographs are amazing! how lovely to get that close to them.
And the green great and trees looked so lush, it's such a beutiful time of year right now.
I love the reddish tree and bluebells too, such a stunning contrast!
It's all quite dreamy and magical.
I know what you mean by healing, the moment I saw these photographs I felt so much peace and quiet joy.

Merci Jeff, la nature est magique!

Hi Sumea, there's something very graceful about deer I think and yes I was very lucky getting that close to them! Thankyou for your lovely words :)

Thankyou Silver Knight (or it is Roland?)

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
