I have no updates yet on my materials or tests for small scale works at the moment (had to wait for pay day to order Golden medium) so I thought I would share my favourite photos of the end of season garden. I can't really describe in words why these two photos give me so much joy; they should, and are, fails on every level: the photos are almost accidental, and the plants have gone to seed which gardeners don't approve of at all. But, the colours, the beauty, the atmosphere, the weird depth of field - and, you have to ask, why would anyone want to take a photo of this, never mind love it beyond all carefully composed and thought-out photos? Phones are brilliant for capturing all the stuff you wouldn't normally see: spontaneity, wabi sabi, unplanned snaps of the eternal optimism of plants that against all the odds they will prevail in a messy section of the garden. These picture a spirit world which I love.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
