This first little drawing is finished, at last! I wasn't sure about the shell in the back but I think the fact that it is broken and the contrast of the colours works well. It will be part of a series of identical sized images and I have a good idea of what I...
Jodrell Bank has been running a project to create a community quilt inspired by the celestial marvels that have been discovered. This is to help mark 80 years of discovery, exploration, and connection with the universe at the site...
Been in the studio a bit more and started a little project. So far I am really enjoying it, so I hope its going to lead to me getting back more often and doing some of the things I have been thinking about but not doing! I am not long back from a holiday and picked...
Not long back from a fabulous 3 weeks in South Africa. Very pleased with myself as I managed to do 5 little drawings. I took my lovely little Hahnemühle water colour book and a new Rosemary travel brush, that I got for my birthday, along with a small set of...
