A shelf...

...in my potting shed.

It was a grey morning, but then the sun came out this afternoon and it was beautiful.

So I sat outside awhile and then went into the potting shed. Popeye slept on me a bit, then went to his favourite hidey hole, which left an opportunity for Lynx, the tabby cat. She has taken to sleeping on me when Popeye has moved, or today walking round and round me clockwise while I was drawing the above picture in an A3 sized sketch book and then spraying water with a mister spray.

I did the drawing without looking at the paper except for the placing of the pen on the paper to begin each item on the shelf. I have never done this before...drawing without looking at the paper. It was actually quite freeing, and it makes me think I might be able to draw the scenes I see in my head. I can draw imaginative pictures, but that is not the same thing.

Lynx is lying by my feet now. It has gone 8pm and quite chilly now, so I need to get in before I get a chill after the lovely warmth of today. I have a better signal on my phone out here! So, to post this.

This is my pic for today for my challenge to myself of a pic every day in 2017.
