Walk Two Hundred and Eighty – Feeling ill

teasle
Last night I started a rotten cold, sore throat and fluey symptoms, so I picked this up on my walk back and forth over the woodland park and drew it in the comfort and warmth of home.

Feel better soon my friend. I like the limerick too. But what is it that you have drawn? a teasel of just a dried up thistle head?

beautifully done - they look so dead and straw like. I hope you can get a bit of extra rest.

INCREDIBLE detail!!!! GORGEOUS! Winter plant life (or the remnants) is so neglected, I am so delighted to see these here!

Thanks for all your good wishes. Ha ha Glyn love the limerick and those were the days long before children when I could stay in bed when feeling ill. Penny I'm not sure what it is, but it looked good to draw.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I found your blogs about a week ago and have so enjoyed them. I am slowly working my way through your "walks". I sketch everyday and walk our dog everyday but haven't combined the two.

It's glorious, Julie, but I hope you feel better! I just took a month to get over something similar so DO take care of yourself if you can, with all your other responsibilities!

Chris, welcome - if you want to combine the two Katherine Tyrell came up with a greta name for it - sketchercise.
Thanks Kate I really appreciate your kind comments.
