Here’s a close-up of the stones that interested me on the opposite side of the river. They supported my tree and were kept dry by it and the ferns and grasses. That meant that the stones themselves kept a blue-grey tonality that really worked among the greens and orangey-browns of the grasses hanging down.

Here’s me looking across the river having finished my oil pastel and soft pencil sketch which you can also find on this blog in previous posts.
