All the tombs are entangled with ivy and blackberry bushes. There are wild flowers growing through everywhere, massive trees framing it all and everything green basically going crazy. This huge, old tree looked like it was trying to wriggle free of the undergrowth and was set wonderfully against the blue sky.
I did a brief visit to the cemetery with Liz Steel on Monday, but these were actually done a few days before that, I’ve just not got around to posting them.
All the pink on this last one was done in squashed blackberry. I ate several while I painted but, as the text at the top says, I had to keep to the higher berries, because the cemetery’s a real dog-walker’s haven. I sat on this tomb to draw the one above. I have a foam pad to stop my bum getting too chilled – works wonders!
