A silly mixed media picture! Image 10×7.5 inches (26×18 cm).

An illustration made on the iPad to accompany a very morbid fairy tale in the series with Carla Sonheim. Here a princess picks flowers in an enchanted garden, little knowing each one will transform one of her brothers into a raven.

A bold ‘blind contour’ drawing over an abstract collage background. Her thoughts may be elsewhere but it’s a good day – she’s wearing her red dress.
Image size 7.25×8.25 inches (18.5×21 cm approx) on heavyweight watercolour paper ready to frame under glass.

An imagined subject drawn in charcoal. The cut off elements add to the overall feeling of movement. There is a theme of echoes and a struggle to balance the elements in the picture. As often happens, a painting was done based on the drawing but it didn’t have the same satisfaction for me. Image size 15×11 inches.

A charcoal drawing bringing together different scenes (with some liberty): a nice church with a bell ringing the Angelus but no services (and showing a fantastic art exhibition), a bent old lady feeding her chickens, neat crops and rolling fields. Image size 19×15 inches.

Charcoal drawing developed from a mini sketch done on site. There is our ‘leader’ Gordon a bit peeved everyone is late. There was no way to see the reportedly lovely garden and chateau behind the wall but the village had lots of delights and far-reaching views. Image size 17.5×12.5 inches.
