I remember one car journey to Cornwall especially well. The M4 motorway was having its yearly resurfacing in the middle of the school holidays. We had been driving forever with the caravan on the back of the car and the road was narrowing to 2 lanes, from 3. Dad was driving and was in theContinue reading “Eat cone…!”

Weep
There is something mesmerising about the weeping willow. It seems to almost flow to the ground like a dress. There was one in my junior school playground and we had to line up against it waiting for lunch. For an artist the willow tree had a special connection. Willow is used to make charcoal whichContinue reading “Weep”

A 6 inch panel seems less daunting – but don’t ask me why. This is a bridge in Stratford Upon AvonContinue reading “Alls well that ends well…”
Toadstools
Wednesdays are my office days and there is never enough time in the mornings. However time to post this simple image of a toadstool!
The Future…
How can you plan for future without looking at the past? This blog started as a free google blogger site. I posted mainly images from my sketch book as I developed my arty-ness. The images evolved and characters appeared. Below is a painting from a holiday to Cornwall way back in the 90’s. I likeContinue reading “The Future…”
