Some very interesting points and paintings. I have also discovered Wikioo too. There is a feeling of quasi-Jungian balance here.
Harmony With Nature.
‘In the Time of Harmony; the Golden Age is Not Passed…’ by Paul Signac,Wikimedia Commons.
“I tried to discover, in the rumour of forests and waves, words that other men could not hear, and I pricked up my ears to listen to the revelation of their harmony.”
Gustave Flaubert
Nature has much to teach us about harmony, if only we would slow down a little and take heed of its ‘revelations.’ If we feel relatively peaceful inside, then that is the time to turn outwards, to see what the environment has to offer us and to teach us.
Do I Love Orchards, Do I Love Forests – Maria Primachenko. Wikioo.
“Love yourself. Then forget it. Then, love the world.”
Mary Oliver
How often do we pause to discover the intricate and miraculous workings of nature? Can we find a few moments moment to ‘stop and smell the…

Brilliant exposition!
The following sonnet was composed by Charles Causley when he was inspired after viewing a 1632 Normandy crucifix.
I am the great sun
I am the great sun, but you do not see me,
I am your husband, but you turn away.
I am the captive, but you d o not free me,
I am the captain but you will not obey.
I am the truth, but you will not believe me,
I am the city where you will not stay.
I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me,
I am that God to whom you will not pray.
I am your counsel, but you will not hear me,
I am your lover whom you will betray.
I am the victor, but you do not cheer me,
I am the holy dove whom you will slay.
I am your life, but if you will not name me,

Turks Head Wapping, E1
Some unusual colours and thanks for advice on mixing greys. Love the dipped pen sketch too!
I walked to The Turks Head Wapping: a restaurant among trees. After a splendid lunch, I sketched the building.
The drawing took me about 50mins on location, pen and ink. I added the colour when I got back to my desk.
Marvellous chimneys!
The chimneys are Transparent Pyrrol Orange. Other colours are: Green Serpentine Genuine, Mars Yellow, Burnt Umber, Ultramarine Blue, Permanent Yellow Deep, and Perylene Maroon to get the darker tiled walls. The blacks and greys are Ultramarine Blue mixed with Burnt Umber. These are all Daniel Smith watercolours. The paper is Arches Aquarelle 300gsm NOT, in a sketchbook made by the Wyvern Bindery in Hoxton.
Here is work in progress:
This is a wonderful café-restaurant – recommended. It is east of Tower Bridge, about a 45…
