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.


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.
