  • Equinox and Solstice

    Equinox and Solstice

    I did three pieces around the equinox and solstice, two in March of the same view (night and day) and another piece at Solstice of the sun setting over one of the ‘sentinels‘ – what I call the red life buoy stands that seem to watch the river, waiting for something – my first modern…

    Filter Beds and Bicycles

    Since I last visited the Filter Beds, I’ve sold the Moon piece – thanks Linda, it’s off to it’s new home, and a lot has happened….July feels like years ago!

This time no Posca work as was tradtional but more of the Woody 3-in-1 pencils, a nice quick charcoal/chalk/graphite drawing and some watercolour work. Really loving those XL blocks I got…
