More Work from the last Artwalk

Gemma Seltzer came on the last walk and made this drawing at the stop, it was a great day and it is always fascinating to see how many different approaches people have to the same place. Do people vote for more Artwalks next year?

ARTISTS IMPROVISE EASILY

Anja Eichen made this piece just out of paper making creases to represent one of the trees within the triangular earthwork. A good artist can improvise and use what is around them. 
I have many more examples of this to follow. Trees provide inspiration and materials all we need is to spend some time with them.

RED BRACKEN

This picture made by Suke has that strange duality, that even though the colour is very obviously false,  there is only a secondary realisation that there has been an inversion from green to red.
The last Artwalk lingers with me as a hot day and this image matches that feeling.

Nick Joubinaux Made this image of an oak with a heart shaped hole in it during the last Artwalk. It is one of the fire damaged trees within the triangular shaped earthwork on Ashtead common. This is a place I always want to stop and sit or draw when I am walking the commons. It has had a drastic haircut so it is a bit bald at the moment.
I hope to be back there soon.

BEST TURNOUT YET

We had a great turnout today 16 humans and one Bailey. Bailey especially enjoyed the day, meeting other dogs and generally being well behaved and even adding to the talking bits by barking at the right time. There was a lot to talk about, and some wonderful drawings were made, which I will post up next week, after a bit of a rest. Thanks to all who came.
