Thoughts for outdoors, thoughts for indoors. Practices for indoors practices for outdoors. Do the two need to be mutually exclusive? This is an entirely indoor thought, why should I not do some of my thinking, or writing outside. I took time to do that once and Aüre came out of it. I found my inspiration, and maybe it’s time to visit that again.
The practice of drawing, again an entirely indoor pursuit for me but it doesn’t have to be. We used to do field studies in high school, taking those big wooden boards out of school and drawing boats. So why do I not go outside now and do some drawings? Draw trees from reality instead of pictures and maybe they’ll take on a more life-like form.
I guess the biggest need here is more than time, it’s also light. Not enough light in the day as winter, very quickly it seems, is approaching. Still haven’t made it to Perthshire this year as the weekends just shoot in, all the orange leaves will well and truly brown soon. Nice morning though, hopefully I get out in it, but the problem with that is I have to take other people’s children with me and not my own!
