A bit of a late post for these drawings. Amazingly we managed some life drawing sessions in the autumn... truly a moment of sanity! My website has been poorly but is back up in a new and improved format, so I thought I should put up a new post. This model was great...
The small pleasure I got from these two little drawings in the last couple of months is reassuring in a year where any pleasure has been in short supply. The alder was drawn at Riverside Park in Macclesfield, where I met up with a couple of other people for a socially...
I can't believe its a year since I put something on my blog. This year has been particulalrly difficult and as a result I have picked up a few half started, waiting to be started and half finished projects. This little embroidered elephant is a Stef Francis kit that I...
I have been making unique print cards, with both a Gecko design and Guineau Fowl. I like the way that having created a plate I can ink it up however I want and print it alone or incoorporate it with other media or print elements. I look for a main element that is...

I spent a day Glass Painting in Ely Stained Glass Museum. It was very interesting and great fun. I saw the course in the paper and was lucky enough to secure a place. There were 6 of us and everyone did something different. I have 4 victorian roundels with Aesops...
Another full day of life drawing in June with a great model and then, later in the day, a second model - what a treat! Tried to use some new materials....... I like the wallpaper, although it has some technical challenges. Have used some water soluble Neocolor and...
I went to the Royal Cheshire Show for the first time this year, hoping to see the heavy horses, as well as other animals. However I missed the horses but found this lovely mare tethered which was great. There was also the Robinson's horses, but they were surrounded by...
