Day 129 [5-8-2016]
Eric is back! So now that Eric has returned from college, I invited him along with George, Paul, and Scott on a hike through a large state park that holds many abandoned structures. Or used to as we discovered throughout our hike. All of the buildings were torn down leaving only a small strip of recently vacated houses right off of the main road. Luckily the part is still beautiful itself to walk through with my good friends. After our adventure we went to dinner where we all talked and had a grand old time. I love hanging out with all these guys. Dudes night out is slowly making its way back.
Can't wait to see what the next day brings!
in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns. In your head, in your head, they are crying...
33019 and the Waggon und Maschinenbau railbus at the North End of the Battlefield Line at Shackerstone during the 2008 Summer gala
The five British Railways Waggon und Maschinenbau railbuses were delivered in April 1958. They were based at Cambridge until 1964. They were withdrawn in 1966 and 1967. Four are preserved.
Initially the buses worked the Maldon, Braintree, and Saffron Walden lines. They had too few seats for the Braintree branch and were used on the Mildenhall line from July 1958. Mildenhall closed in 1962. E79961/3/4 had their Buessing engines replaced by AEC A220X engines, also of 150 hp, in 1962-3, due to the cost of importing replacements from Germany. Their other branches closed in 1964, after which they spent most of their time in store at Cambridge. In 1965 79963 and 79964 were trialled on the Alston Line, but couldn't haul parcels vans and had heating problems in winter. 79961 and 79964 were transferred to serve Millers Dale in 1966, but that branch closed in 1967. M79961 was the last to be withdrawn in August 1967 and was scrapped at Rotherham in 1968
for surgery. When I read the BBC article about the anaconda (Eunectes murinus) surgery www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-37166163 I remembered I had witnessed a similar operation on a Burmese python *Python molurus bivittatus) several years ago. Maybe the picture might be of some interest to someone somewhere. Photo of Burmese python being administered anesthetia taken in 1992 by Frank with a Leicaflex SL camera.

Well… I know it is still a long way off…but my BCN trip prep book has begun. (4th international USK symposium in Barcelona if you don't know what I am referring to!)
And this year the trip prep will be a HUGE focus for me. I AM (i really AM!) going to start training for sketching people more…
So here is the title page and a few pages that I did this week -using reference books initially to get the right marks and proportions happening and then will start sketching in public. I promised my friend Chris that I would have done 20 faces and 20 figures before I saw her next… so the night before… I did them all! I can intersperse my people sketches with planning notes (such as how to decide on which workshop to do - this page was writing down my shortlist of way way too many!)
And then last night while waiting for our dinner, I sketched the view! Actually this was just a glorified thumbnail that now is a 'sketch'. I have thought of a while that the best way to do cafe sketches is to draw the people first and then hint at the interior space later - of course Jim Richard's new book and his approach- start with people has been a good reminder. THis time I actually drew the middle group of people first and I found that that really helped me get the people closest to me the right size and the further group then behind them. I have discovered a Pilot V pen while sorting my studio and really love it to draw and then dissolve the line! FUN FUN FUN.
I have been agonising how to draw more people for years I know- I do have a mild dread 'ruining' a page in my normal sketchbook which I know is totally hypocritical and yet a separate sketchbook just for people seems like a cop out for me. SO having in my trip prep book feels right to me!
And yes, I have a sewing plan as well....
