Beacon across the Pond

Mood: Tired
Music: Thom Yorke - Analyse.mp3 ["The Eraser" 2006]

Hello world.

I've been away from the computer more than usual, in fact I guess you could call it a holiday away. It's summer, the plants are a vibrant green, the air is warm (and filled with grass pollen ¬_________¬) and I've been trying to make the most of what's around me.

So needless to say I've been sketching more but mainly while in the garden at home, coolin' on the scene like a horse in a stable.

Anyway, I'm in love with the pond right now, it's a main feature in the garden and it's looking pretty sweet right now - especially with the waterfall going. Anyway, I doodled the lighthouse in the middle of that waterfall. I've included a comparison photo. I'm quite happy with it, shame the sun had pretty much set by the time I painted it.

It's fun playing with watercolours but I think I need to push myself more with the drawing.


....and yes, that is a T-Rex brawling with a Tricerotops. ;D
