Winter's Dying Light

 I vowed to keep a Garden Journal for 12 months and the time will be up in 3 weeks at the end of our winter.

Still waiting to have my second cataract operation (and not being able to get used to my new one eyed bifocals), I tried sketching this without any glasses.  I am pleased with the result! 

This is a familiar scene for me, I guess it helps when you know the subject.  It's our tiny courtyard garden in the dying light of an unusually sunny winter afternoon.

Art teachers always tell you to squint (or remove your glasses) so you can’t see details. I presently have in-built slightly blurry vision so that is an asset! 

Should I add more or leave the blank space for some text!?
