Sketchy

Thought I’d upload a few local sketches.
 carrot
An amusingly shaped carrot...The soil here is, um, difficult and in Summer is like unto concrete. Deformed carrots, our speciality.
mondego-rocks
Down by the rio Mondego. 5 minutes walk downhill. Rather more on the way up...
olive
Across the valley from the house. We have about 24 Olive trees. This one needs the suckers removing. But having spent the cooler bit of the morning out there with a scythe, topping the cow parsley, I don’t fancy the 40+ temperature out in the sun..

  1. Nice,
    your olive tree is handled very nicely. somewhat in the E H Shepard range, has a nice private atmosphere to it.
