The DP was away delivering youngest child to bus at Ellon, to travel into Aberdeen, then train back to Edinburgh. Good to have Syd here tho for a few days.
So I set off.
To the left of me the sky was black. To the right was bright sun. I was toasty. I had my coat which is windproof and rainproof, plus my over trousers/leggings, for golfers trousers. But even with a scarf over my nose and mouth I could not breathe properly. The wind in that direction was cold and strong.
It also moved me about a bit too much so this photo is blurred.
I did not walk far, when I turned to go back to the car it was behind me, so I did move a bit faster!
Once home, down the shedudio.
Amended the Christmas Robin.
On the drawing board is a Redshank and a Sparrowhawk.
Photograph by Ian Bain.
You will have to peer at the last one, that's the original sketch in pencil. But I am well chuffed with it as this is from a photograph I took!
At 3.40 it was dusk. I could not see to draw anymore.
I am going to have to re-arrange my daily timetable.
Winter is now with us.

Yes, I have been caught by the change of the clocks, it does get dark suddenly. I have a daylight angle-poise light - the type that has a magnifying glass centre and I find I have that on quite a bit. Great when I am doing small detail and good for my mood. However, I find that I have not noticed how dark it has got coz I am busy concentrating with the light on and suddenly I have to pack up, collect youngest from the bus, start cooking, feed a ravenous dog etc! Love your final pencil image :)
Love your robin-nice touch of humour. Winter is almost here too in Central Scotland and the heavy coats and boots are out. Catriona
