To the hills…

In the Malvern Hills, it’s easy to admire the views. Even in the bad weather, it’s possible to find a spot to draw that is out of the wind. But the weather changes too. I was looking at the North Hill and the sun was shining down on it, quite dramatically, and I was using watercolour and ink to make a picture. When I looked up next, the hill was not there and instead was a cloud of grey mist. I decided to call it a day and started to pack up. I looked back up at the scene and the North Hill had reappeared and the mist had moved off to the east above the town. People were walking over the hill and further away I could see a dog running. The British Camp was next, and this was foggy and beautiful. I don’t mind sitting in the cold drawing, and I like to see the sheep keeping the grass so neat all the way up there.

It must be the heat…

Some illustrations about corruption in subtropical Brisbane during the late 1950s. Images made for a segment for an animated film produced by the PAMA Language Centre. Charcoal, ink, kraftpaper and graphite.

Is that the time?…

I am very pleased to have received drawings from both Veronika and Viktor in Poland.

Viktor did a drawing of Big Ben, and an English apple tree, and other buildings which I like. Veronika’s landscape and the figure in the centre of it is very beautiful and thoughtful too.

Thank you Veronica and Viktor for your pictures which are now on my lodówka.

Bottle and Flora Show…

On the fence…

Thanks to everyone who dropped by on Sunday afternoon to see the railings outside the studio as part of the Primrose Hill Art Trail. Anyone who bought a piece will receive it in the post asap.
