Second morning, Old Storehouse
Continuing with my travels, I was finding it difficult to stop drawing this morning, as I relaxed after breakfast in this amazing place, which nestles near the 'Brecon Beacons, South Wales.
However, Minka, (can you see her outside the window?), has now come in and claimed her favourite armchair while I was upstairs answering a booking enquiry, so I am prevented from finishing this drawing. Perhaps it's just as well, however, as I was in danger of getting completely carried away, trying to include everything: the fire crackling away in the stove; sumptuous curtains pushed behind cascades of booksand magazines; birds; squirrels; and not of course forgetting the ducks , who have come up from the canal at the bottom of the garden to feast on the generous offerings put out for them .
Never mind - I'll look forward to drawing something else tomorrow, and meanwhile apply myself to something I should really be doing!
Drawing is everything, of course, as it sharpens the perception and hones technique.
