Spending most of my days resting, watching birds and sketching occasionally. I am not active on the net or sharing my sketches and artwork. Realizing that every moment is precious and I wish to spend it with my loved ones and people dear to me. Doing things, I love the most and engaging in activities that give me peace and happiness. Sharing one of my sketches from my deer studies from Bannerghatta National Park. Wishing you all a successful week ahead! Spotted deer (Axis axis) Title: Penance_59!

So, was für einen Blödsinn kann ich denn heute mal anstellen.
#squirrel
Oberkörper eines rotbraunen Eichhörnchens, ausgerichtet zur rechten Bildseite, steht auf den Hinterläufen, nach vorn gebeugt, und stützt sich mit einer Vorderpfote auf eine höher gelegene Baumscheibe. Die andere Vorderpfote hängt in der Luft. Das Eichhörnchen trägt kurze braune Ohrpinsel. Der Hintergrund ist grün mit Lichtpunkten.

The weather is awful here,
with hurricane-force winds till 130 km/h
and abnormal amounts of rain.
Just grey and wet.
Winter is coming rapidly
We urgently need some Colour for our mood

The bluetit (I am writing it as one word, or else Facebook might give me trouble 😅) is also a recurring bird in my art works. These little yellow and blue fluffballs are regular visitors to my garden, and I quite adore them. So here is a collection of paintings I did over the last few years.

The whole day is supposed to be grey with lots of rain
To counter that, here's a splash of colour from me to lift your mood
