This Weeks Drawing....Summer Fields

Hello Lovelies, 

oh I'm so happy to have one of my drawings to share with you sweet people this week, it's been a while hasn't it. 

I have been enjoying sketching since my last blogged picture and if you are not familiar with this relatively new hobby of mine you can see all my previous pictures by clicking  HERE.

A few of you have mentioned that you missed my drawings, which was lovely to hear. The truth is I've missed them too , but I haven't had much time to actually sit down and draw...plus there is always yarn to tempt me. I wonder how people can ever be bored....my head is always full of things I want to make and do.

Anyway, back to my latest drawing. Once again I've been inspired by walking in  the countryside, as I was in my  first drawing back in February. But now it is Summer.....Oh Summer in the countryside , how I LOVE it. The flowers and warmth. The green fields and blue skys ( some days :0) ) The birdsong and buzz of bees , the butterflies and the tall grasses. I find it really makes me happy to get out and enjoy the seasons, and summer, like spring, is especially easy to enjoy.

The picture I've come up with is a combination of images you will probably already be familiar with.

This picture was taken on a walk last week, and blogged about HERE.........

This picture was taken on a family bike ride the week before and blogged about HERE...........

Here is a quick pencil sketch I did when inspiration struck...........

I then drew this in my A4 sketch book, again in pencil, before going over the plants in the foreground in fine pen.........

Then it was time for colouring in. Once again I've stuck with my favourite medium.....coloured pencil
I love a bit of colouring in. It's a gentle, relaxing pastime.

Here is the finished picture..........

 You can click on the images to make them bigger.

I love how this picture has turned out. I think it captures the countryside where I live at this moment....

I copied the pretty house directly from my photo because I loved it's white walls and interesting shape.......

of course it was great fun drawing all the flowers......daisies, butter cups and clover..................

I'm happy that it really looks warm and sunny in the picture

As with all my pictures it was simply drawn for enjoyment , but it's also wonderful to be able to share it here with you lovelies.
