Art Life & Walking
Bracing Wind from the east today across tops of Dartmoor. Chilly but sunny. Dipped down to the valley. Deer, Jays, Tits Blue, long-tailed and Coal and a rare sighting of a Woodcock. Even the horse and hens were warming themselves in the golden sun.
Stunning work created by Bovey Tracey Society of Artists today. The sun was golden casting long shadows through the trees at Yarner Woods on a chilly day. Tucked up warm in the Woodland Centre, the lovely ladies created concertina books inspired from nature some with narrative and poignant woodland words. Colours of the day…red, yellow, green, brown, orange, maroon, dark earths and a touch of bling.
We printed and painted and shared stories….What a wonderful day.
