A detailed study of the wheels and motion of a steam locomotive catching the setting winter sun. The locomotive is 45407, I took this in January 2012
My wife gifted the flowers for 'nothing special' 2 yrs ago.
I made these pictures, then forgot about it. Today, I found a folder strangely named 'flower studies' in my old drive. About 50 shots of flower pictures were stored in the folder. Right, I've never studied flowers, but these remind me of a good day with my wife.
Another study for the commission I am currently working on. These are the tanks for cutch, a solution of water and bark which was used to waterproof drift nets for the Suffolk fishing fleet, which I have already drawn. The drawing reminded me that some of this paraphernalia would be useful for my commissioned drawing, a cutaway view of a building like the one in the background. Drawn with a Pentel 0.5mm mechanical pencil on an A4 sketch pad.
At Phaya Taung Monastery and Orphanage on Samkar Lake, south of Inle Lake.
Phaya Taung has a boarding school for over 1,100 orphans, poor children and children from one-parent families aged between 4 and 17 years. The school belongs to the Buddhist monastery Phaya Taung, where 140 monks and volunteers take care of the care and training.
Skies are truly clear. Moon not full, so more detail. Just trying to improve my shot. No DSLR, only EM5 Mk II and relatively simple zoom lens. Tripod however, and triggert the shot using my iPhone via WiFi to minimise movement. About 100 shots. Study;-)
Young monks are kids in their heart, and they act as kids, so it's easy for them to get distracted during studying hours :-)
Autumnal fulgence.

A quick study of palisades and landscape. it turned out pretty well in my opinion and the dk green looks better than green. I've had this idea for a while and im probably going to expand on it in the future. I've got a couple of small builds lined up for today and tomorrow as im going away for 4 weeks in three days time :P Hope you like my new sig fig, I was getting tired of my old one.
I'm using a new camera and still tryong to figure out the new settings, so thats why some parts are blurry amd stuff :P
This was a difficult shot with wind and rain blowing directly into the lens, I had to quickly capture the moments between lens wipes.
one spider, 3 shots, melded together to show this busy little creature. It was an orchid hunt, but I did well with bugs and butterflies too
Some cattle studies which should help me with the finished artwork of the reconstruction drawing I am working on. My little herd of William Britain's plastic cows have modelled for numerous reconstruction drawings, not least of which were historic farmsteads which I worked on in the 1990s. The models themselves are now historical objects, the present Britain's farm animals seem to me less lifelike and difficult to scale. A 17th century engraving I found in a book about the English civil war will help me "age" the animals. Drawn on an A4 cartridge paper sketchpad, with Pentel 0.5mm pencil, Winsor and Newton watercolours and some fineliner pens.
Taking a break from the books, I took a walk down to the farmers crossing a few hundred feet behind my home - a place where I spent a lot of time watching trains throughout grade school, but not so much in recent years. To my surprise, CP 647 crested the grade with a handsome pair of Union Pacific 5400s. While not totally uncommon, matched sets of foreign power are always a nice treat to shoot - especially when its a two minute walk from home!
For the foamers trackside, this train cleared Mile 69 at 1330. Now, back to studying...
Statue Study~
Been a while since I have done anything creative so this is an attempt to get back into it a little, no video this time though of process. Used mainly graphite and acrylic paint on canson mixed media sketching paper 11x14 (edited digitally slightly)
Time:3-4hrs
Male and female bullfinches eating maple seeds.
They let me come as close as ten steps. I tried to come nearer, but without a success. They thought they are invisible in thick growth of a maple tree. It's interesting how different bullfinches (as well as other little birds) react when people come close. Some people make them fly away very fast, some pass unnoticed.
