Cycled to Breedon on the hill, vast views from there of Peak District in the North, Castle Donnington nearby etc..
the Graveyard was interesting, lots of stones from the 1830s, a few young women died in 1855 whilst still intheir teens. Most stones were slate, dated from teh 19th Century, and were in unweathered- almost new condition.
Cycling was good, 74 miles with none of the strength loss of last week. Could have done the century but for work tomorrow. Missed some bits with the sunblock- so am mildly burnt on arms. Oops!
The pavement painting is proving to be a problem, I keep getting it down to look at and thinking it through – while cycling as well. At work, I look at this blog just to puzzle over the picture- "what todo next?" echos around my head. Doing li’l sketches too to think on paper.
I’ve got a new idea for a picture, an unwrapping. Imagine skin unrolled, and painted in oils, a study of each vein, freckle, hair and suntan. Hard to see thisworking on any medium apart from paint. The challenge is to make sure it doesn’t look gruesome.
