Nib and top of a much beloved Pelikan sketch pen

Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at Trafalgar Square London UK of a guy sitting down against a bollard "Sketching" the National Gallery.

 

"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".

"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.

Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Australia. Sixes and Sevens tavern. Saturday morning. It is winter and I am getting sunburnt on the back of my neck standing in the median drawing this sketch - and I realise that I am so bad with keeping track of the date that it is actually Saturday 22 08 15 - don't ask me why I thought it was 28 08 15? I must have been some place else.

Just having some fun with a photo to sketch app

Evening sketch, a few days later, same square, a view on the right, a very damp evening weather. Still, managed to stay outside.

 

Croquis du soir,, quelques jours ont passé, même place (de la Canourgue), autre vue. Une heure dans une atmosphère très humide, à la limite de la pluie. J'ai quand même réussi à rester en terrasse.

The dark lines of light pouring of the crying sky

On the shoulders of the artist.

Like the lines streaming from her dark pencil

Onto the light paper

While creating dark and running images of

A cloudy day on the sea.

Like the lines of our lives dropping slowly from the

Artists trained hand into the complex drawing

Of reality mixed with imagination so that we cannot

Tell them apart, just like we

Cannot separate the waves.

What is reality if not

A sketch of light?

Reeds in Lough Abisdealy, Lissard Estate in Skibbereen.This is part of a series I shot a few years ago. I took a look at some of the files last week to try and add to the series. To make these images I waded out into the lake composed and then waited for ripples to die down before shooting.

 

All of the images were taken on foggy or soft days with no wind.....

 

Captured in: Smithtown NY.

 

The color blue can help express one's feelings, or be felt in the stylings of a particular type of music. It can be seen when looking deep into someone's eyes, or among the many colors of the rainbow... Blue exists in a variety of different things, and takes on a variety of meanings.

 

The task of this week's Macro Monday assignment was to show a small object that is mostly (or prominently features) the color blue. My take on this particular subject "led" me (ok, pun intended) to the blue pencil... Not only does the subject itself feature the color blue, but by definition the term "blue pencil" is also used to express the work done by an editor:

 

"If a person goes over a piece of writing with a blue pencil, they remove or change some of the words to improve it or make it acceptable" -- Cambridge Dictionary. I always thought that job was best handled by a red pencil, but guess that blue is a pretty versatile color.

 

HMM, and have a great week!
