Recent sketches

I have been working on a couple of paintings for a local exhibition next month and have got behind with my blog postings.  Here are a few recent images from my sketchbook - a couple from life, others from magazines, the internet or imagination.

Urban Sketchers Swindon

Sketch outing to TWIGS Community Garden.  I have been to this location a couple of times before, but this was a first for Swindon Urban Sketchers.  A glorious day, a good turn out with several new members and a luxuriant venue (we just had to be wary of the beekeepers working in one corner of the site).
