there's no place [quite] like home... this week i chanced upon making an impromptu visit to a local fen by way of an appointment in the area, but i hadn't anticipated being caught in a downpour...these quick photographs seemed interesting enough to post here today, with a very similar colour palette to the small canvas painting shown in the previous post, the little canvas on the prairie…

[i liked watching the reeds appear to draw ink lines through the surface of the water]
[more reeds & water, but the camera soon gets quite misty eyed]
[another kind of drawing (or an abstract painting), made by rain, water and some reeds]this last photograph reminded me of some quick rain-induced sketches from last year - by that i mean some spontaneous mark-making made in my sketchbook while stranded in the rain (i was out drawing clouds but then the rain came down unexpectedly)...
