Light from above...

I've still got this fascination at the moment with telegraph poles and wires, which in turn has led to a fascination with the sky...and the amazing things it does to the wires!
The sky late this afternoon was extraordinary...



...in complete contrast, the light at Birling Gap the weekend before last was completely defining, and just so clear...
I find hospitals probably some of the least aesthetically pleasing places on the planet...but I was determined to at least try and appreciate something...even if it was simply arrangement of inanimate shapes...
...outside was better...


...and in amongst all these wires; these communicative threads, I got out my watercolours and painted a birthday present for a friend...
...and then, clearly, just went back to basking in industrial sun...

  1. What a beautiful watercolour painting! Your friend will be so pleased. I like your sky pictures, especially the ones with blue skies. We have seen so little of blue skies here that it makes a welcome change.

    Take care
