These fragments come from slowing down and noticing...
This time, a pause beside a garden gate, in the Burgundy countryside.
Original works on paper. Available via my online shop: amandatamsin.fr/collections/...

I spoke at the beginning of the year about a daily practice... Attentive Fragments (ou Fragments d'Attention). These works completed in January are now available at amandatamsin.fr/collections/...
I'm thinking of resuming this practice in April.

Just after finishing this piece, a family of five wild boar emerged from the bushes.

Today's fragment was about surrendering to the elements.

I had no water for today's fragment, so broke one of the carrots we'd brought for the nearby donkeys and applied some paint. Added a little water at home.
Large, old trees are uncommon here.

Late afternoon from the Terrace. Many thin tree trunks - one called out to be different.

This one and his friend actually looked like they were sympathising when I searched for one of my Conté Carrés in the grass...

#attentivefragments ##mixedmediaart
Usually I don't choose to make colours that realistic, but I do want to recreate the freshness of the yellow here. Perhaps I'll remember my watercolours and paint these catkins tomorrow.

Forgot my watercolours... Almost a #monochrome Monday one, as just had Conté carrés and a little gouache in ochre (plus a little in blue for the greyish tones).
Stopped by the bridge - looked at the shapes in a chapel wall.

Around sunset, mainly cloudy. Traces of the cold wind.

I seem to be doing attentive fragments at dusk at the moment, then photographing in daylight the next day. Here's yesterday's one...

'Attentive Fragments' - Small, intuitive works made from moments of noticing and presence during my daily walks - light, objects, plants and fleeting moments held in memory. Not studies for larger paintings. Each fragment is complete in itself. 1/3
