don't fence me in...

when the weather was nicer at the beginning of the holidays, the boys and i biked up to the little village playground. it's never busy there and it's rather picturesque - down a fairly long track, and snuggled in between a paddock with a horse called annie and the cricket field. the view beyond these things is pretty too - lots of grazing sheep and with meadows behind. the boys played, i played too - i took my sketchbook with me and drew in the sun. it struck me that there were lots of fences, both wire and wood - ugly in a way, but lots of different shapes and grids - some new, some bent up and old, different angles and lines. so i drew them all and turned them into this design, called, surprisingly, fences.
