Knave – SOLD

 Artwork, AVAILABLE, Drawing, Ink, Monochrome, on kaolin-coated board, Place, Rural, Trees

This is based on Church Lane in Witley, near Godalming in Surrey. The road is a spectacular sunken lane or holloway that begins almost before it has left the substantial village. There is a footpath on the high ground to the left which also has…

The Green Man Series (Linocut)

 Artwork, Printmaking, Uncategorized

Every now and then I do a bit of relief printmaking. It’s generally single-block, one-colour work, although I have experimented with a “jigsaw” approach to colour and with colour blends on the roller (known as “ombre”). This series uses a blend of green, yellow and…

Construct – SOLD

 Artwork, AVAILABLE, Drawing, Ink, Monochrome, on kaolin-coated board, Place, Rural, Trees

This is a “den” that stood in one of my local woods for what seems like (and probably was) years. I’m fairly sure that it got repaired more than once during the time I’ve known it, but it seems that Storm Eunice (in March 2022)…

The hawthorn tree is in the top corner of a steeply sloped field, right next to a public footpath and the kissing gate that admits walkers. It’s a venerable tree, and I would guess, from its appearance and poistion, that it was once part of…

Grip – SOLD

 Artwork, Card available, Colour, Drawing, Ink, on kaolin-coated board, Place, Rural, SOLD, Trees

Ash trees on the steep slope adjacent to a sunken bridlepath that descends from our local chalk ridge. This may be a less dramatic holloway than the chalk-faced thoroughfares in parts of east Hampshire (and elsewhere), but it’s still striking and rather lovely. I wanted…

Into the Light

Into the Light

 Artwork, AVAILABLE, Drawing, Ink, Monochrome, on kaolin-coated board, Place, Rural, Trees

The thing about sunken lanes is that they can be quite dark, on account of being, well, sunken. Sometimes, though, you get bright sunlight at just the right angle to send a shaft through the canopy overhead and illuminate something, drawing attention to it, bringing…
