It's been a while since I was sketching regularly (as you might have been able to tell from the paucity of the December blog posts), and it feels great to be back. Yesterday was around 50, sunny, and still, so Mr. Darcy and I took part of the afternoon to go wander in the forest and sketch. He's been a little gimpy. Much better now, but we've been under orders to build back up gently to full walks, and I decided walking with sketching breaks would be ideal. Plus he's really the perfect sketching companion for me anyway. He's patient and quiet but watches everything going on around us, which I forget to do as I get sucked into my sketch. It's nice to have him keeping an eye out for me.
We also ran into my photographer friend Peter Ceren. He uses a nifty, not-much-focused lens to take stunning photos of our forest. He took a picture of Mr. Darcy and me as we approached. I like the feel of it (and a sharper lens would have caught all the bulges in my pocket with leash and sketching stuff). I will hasten to add that I'm carrying a camp seat for sitting on the ground and not a truly ugly purse. I'm always accessory challenged when I'm out with art gear.
