The internet here is a bit patchy so my posts are short and sweet (and I want to spend every minute of my day as an artist!).
Today’s activity was to take a walk and sketch some cattle poo. Yes, cattle manure. I’ve seen a lot of it during my residency so far, and I had noted that the dry poo had a beautiful blue lustre in the sun. So I just had to sketch it – I also needed an excuse to use my new cobalt teal colour!

| One of my new experiences - discovering calf poo is different to adult cow poo. Little dimes of poo - so cute! |
Ugly things turned beautiful! I am enjoying following your stay and adventures.
