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...
I just had a lovely weekend in Liverpool, the city where I went to University. I wandered around old and new places and visited the Metropolitan Cathedral, where I did some drawing. The cathedral was somewhere I used to go and sit and the inside is truly...
Well at last I have cut another Lino for the series. I like the result very much, it may still have a bit of editing but for now I will leave it alone and get on and plan the next one. I am not sure why it took so long, it has been half done for ages. Anyway I...

Have spent the day setting up my exhibition. I am pleased with how it looks. Starts on Sunday so fingers crossed. ...
52Frames set a challenge of night photography this week. This gave me a chance to use another photo reference I have had sitting around. A year or so ago I took some photos, with the ipad, of my neighbours house. The full moon and the house were behind the...
