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?

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.

Drawing by Sarah Anderson 2013 made as we walked through Epsom common high and low meadow

 Sarah Anderson 2013

We walked through Epsom common's high and low meadow on to Woodcock corner, along the edge of Newton Wood to Ashtead common and within the Triangular earthwork, where I always think time stands still, or at least doesn't sprint past, we drew. Sarah Anderson made this drawing of one of the ancient oaks. There was a fire in this area in the 80s and all the trees are charred.

There is a timelessness to Sarah's drawing, made with pencil and some water, quite beautiful.

DEAD TREE

katrina Naomi, Oil Pastels on paper

Katrina Naomi, a poet, responded to one of the dead trees within the triangular pre-historic earthwork on Ashtead Common with this startling piece, which is an oppositional affirmation of life, with it's vibrant colours and inherent energy.

DRAWING

Christine Nicholls, Epsom Tree, pencil on paper

Sunday was a great day for conversation, walking and drawing, and it seems that we had some very skilled artists along, Chrissie made this elegant piece of work in less than 15 minutes, quite something.
