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?

'Artwalks' are led by artist Tim Ridley on Epsom and Ashtead commons' 180 hectares during the summer months of 2013 . A record of my Arts Council funded residency and three free walks on this amazing near wilderness SSSI only 15 miles from central London. "Artwalk' dates 23rd of June, 28th of July & 1st of September

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.

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.

The caterpillar of the Cinnabar Moth eating away at yellow Ragwort, Epsom Common
The caterpillar of the Cinnabar Moth eating away at yellow Ragwort, they brazenly flout their waring yellow and black markings, which I think potential predators read as 'I am poisonous, don't eat me'
They become a black moth with red wing markings, If I was a moth I would love to be dart shaped, and decked out in black and red. As the goths of the moth world they dress in black and fly in the day despite the sun.
