A Shallow Puddle Filled With The Most Beautiful, Organic Patterns Of Reflected Trees And Swirls Of Water

A shallow puddle filled with the most beautiful, organic patterns of reflected trees and swirls of water moving over and around pebbles. I love these muted colours too. There is beauty in winter and it makes my heart sing!

This drawing was directly inspired by a photo by @robertpallesen. It was a black and white image of coiled wires and cables hanging against a wall. When I saw it my fingers itched to draw my interpretation of it and Robert kindly gave me the go-ahead.
I rarely use any real images for my drawings because I find it daunting and inhibiting but when I do, I spend a few minutes looking at the image and absorbing it, as a whole and zoomed in to smaller areas. Then I put the image out of sight and draw the ‘feel’ of the image from memory. Working this way opens a portal to my subconscious and removes the pressure of re-producing a realistic copy.

A small, abstract pencil drawing.
I draw these at night when I'm tired and have stopped thinking. They have become my (almost) daily art practice.

Mother Nature is beautiful even on a dreary January day.
It was cold and drizzly but after hours of sitting at the computer I had to get outdoors. I yomped up a hill to get warm and at the top, with heaving lungs and hammering heart, saw a puddle with exquisite reflections.
I like the painterly-ness of these. They look superb as a collection. Each one brings a little extra out of the one next to it.
I could imagine drawing them in charcoal or ink.
