First Week in pictures






At the start of the year I always wish that I could give more time to art and try to develop a style and generally try harder!!
So this is my attempt to make myself do just that
a piece of art a day
it may only be a sketch or a whole picture finished
we will see.


Watercolour sketch of larch cones picked up on a walk yesterday.



This is a pen and ink... one of a set of drawings that  illustrated a little story wrote a few years ago....the image i have in my mind for them never quite matches up to what i can draw!!











This is a print taken from a very wet watercolour painting....a ghost painting!! the print is much nicer that the original.



I love feathers and this is a painting from a few feathers that i pick up near a pheasant killed on the road, it was a fight to stop the lodger dragging it home for supper.










Just a doodle, pen and ink.




The first of the year....taken from a photograph i took of a sunrise the day before.
