There was a great tree stump in the rubbish area, and the base of the bid tree was quite impressive too.
It crossed my mind that trying to draw the stump would be a good idea. I moved a couple of trucks of weed and hoed quite a bit behind the main flower bed, nice to have done a bit of tidying in the back garden.
Tina drove us out for lunch, we went to the Farmer Fryer, a fish and chip place with a cafe. I was able to have naked fish with garden peas and side salad. I really big piece to steamed fish and very tasty. They had a great bit of artwork on the wall.
When we got home I got the trolley and went out and moved the tree stump across to the summer house. It was way to heavy to carry. Then I sat in the summer house and did a pencil drawing of it. A different position from the photo, but still a great piece of wood.
Not planning to do a great deal thins evening.
That is a big old flower bed. Looks nice though minus a few weeds.
ReplyDeleteWe’re the cats playing or chasing each other to tear out lumps? Hopefully by now they’re getting used to each other a bit more.
I can see why you were drawn (no pun intended) to the tree stump as an art project. I would have been as a photo project as I’m not as adept with a pencil as you are. The drawing turned out great by the way. Bet it didn’t take you many minutes either.
That’s a clever bit of artwork in the fish and chip shop. Fish with potatoes in it so to speak. Now if you could only get whale and chips I wonder what it would taste like?
This is the third time I have replied to this, having trouble with the internet fairies tonight!
DeleteIt was good to get into the back garden for a bit, it is so nice out there now and I don’t want it becoming a jungle again now that everything, especially the unwanted ones are growing!
I love the tree stump and want to make it into a feature somewhere, too good to be burnt. Anyway, the insects will love making it their home.
I really liked the artwork at the cafe, nice food and service too.
The cats weren’t plying, but weren’t taking chunks out of each other either, just chasing each other away!
