0280 - 2026.05 Thinking and destiny (flower pot) - proof
An experiment printing onto a page of an old book, in this case Thinking and Destiny by Harold W. Percival 1946. This is a picture of the framed result, I don’t have the proportions quite right. Or m

0173 - 2025.04 Flower Patch (Four Leaf Clover)
I thought I could do a mass of flowers, much as one sees in spring time. It took quite a long time to draw all the little flowers and then colour them in. But when I stood back from all the work I re

0220 - 2025.07 Three Birds Sitting
I did this quickly to fill an old frame that has three windows in it. I’m not pretending they are great drawings, but they look quite nice in the frame together with my other three birds. (See 0166 a

Revisiting the old pen and ink, adding a dash of watercolour, then thinking of a title. Desert sands. Forest and trees. These are the best of an ordinary bunch. Technique: #ink Theme: #abstract High

Around the beginning of May I start to experiment with multimedia. In this print I’m using over-inked tetra pack shapes and biro and some watercolour. I have a large envelope of experimental drawings

Exploring landscapes. Ink and a little watercolour, in two versions. Not happy either either of them, but there you go. #ink #landscape #green

0167 - 2025.04 Beach tents
Playing around with pen and ink and coloured pencil. With little perspective, the tents have the same roofline and so get taller as the beach falls away. It seems I am always “playing around“ with pe

A simple ink drawing with a little colour. The original is very small, about 5 x 5 cm (or 2 x 2 in the old money). #ink #bird #white #micro-art

0105 - 2024.06 Mountain
On a whim I purchased some Indian Ink and some nibs and this is one of the first drawings I did with the broad nib. Beginners luck, not everything I’ve done since has the same simplicity. #ink #lands

0060 - 2024.02 Three yachts on the horizon
Back in my doodling days this was something I drew, so I thought to reproduce it in Lino. Except I didn’t. I just got the old doodle art out and photographed it. The dodgy lower frame line sort of su

0004 - 2023.08 Inked leaves
An experiment inking leaves directly. I didn’t have the right process and the result is just okay. Part of the learning process. #ink #plant #green
