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.

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.
