January, February

 

January was made completely within its titular month, from snowy photograph to completed drawing. It took me longer to find a scene I wanted to represent the second month – I eventally settled on snowdrops in a sunken lane and made a start on the very last day of February. March’s scene proved too elusive and the picture bearing its name has been postponed.

February, ink on kaolin-coated board, 12×16″

Both of these drawings will be on show at the exhibition Exploring Senses: The Society of Graphic Fine Art, 10 July to 7 September at the Watts Contemporary Gallery, near Guildford.
