'Tinkerbell"

Here is a photo of my commissioned Yorkshire terrier drawing, done using a range of graphite pencils, measuring A4 framed. 

Richmond Station

On my return to the UK I visited Richmond Station, where the current exhibition Spot On The Wall is running. 

My drawing 'Alert Hare' is hanging in there up for sale

The exhibition runs until the 7th September

If you are nearby go in and check them out with over a 150 exhibits theres plenty to look at!!

Puerto Calero!!

What a wonderful two weeks holiday in Pureto Calero, Lanzarote!!

Pureto Calero is often referred to as the Millionaires Marina and its obvious as to why.. 

If only I had a few spare millions!!

We took a trip in a submarine that went 37 meters under water, 

here is a photo of what it looked like inside.

Unfortunately we didn't come across any sharks, just a large stingray and plenty of fish!

Here is a picture of the spa in the hotel, we stopped in The costa Calero which was outstanding!

Dusk falls outside the piano bar. 

Highland Cow

Here is a photo of my finished 'Highland Cow' soon it will be hanging in The Station Gallery, Richmond, North Yorkshire.

It measures 52cm x 42cm, and was done using a range of graphite pencils.

Not much more to do...

Sorry for the lack of posts recently but Ive been busy doing a commission for a birthday present. As you can see I have finished the head- just the background to go. Not long now !!

Slow progress...

With the beautiful sunshine hiding I had a few 'uninterrupted' hours to get on with the Highland Cow coming along nicely but slowly...

Back to the drawing board!

After a busy few weeks revising and working, I'm happy to share with you the progress of this drawing which is slowly getting there....

Alert Hare

Hi everyone I'de like to introduce you to my latest drawing titled 'Alert Hare' (I am not very imaginative when it comes to names!) this was done using graphite and is A3 size. I am particularly pleased with the long whiskers and the detail in his beady eye as you can see below.

He will be my first picture to hang in the Richmond Station on the 14th July for the 'Spot on the Wall' exhibition, this is where artists can 'buy' one space to hang one piece of artwork over 10 weeks and once the first piece is sold the artist replaces it. 

-Lets hope this 'Alert Hare' isn't around for long :)

New Hare!!

New Hare pencil drawing in progress!

I have entered this years 'Spot on The Wall' at Richmond Station due to start on the 14th July, here is the Hare drawing that I am hoping to submit :)

Originals Framed!!

Here is a photograph I took of the two finished Cockerels together framed, they were both drawn with faber Castell pencil crayons onto Fine grain- Heavy white water colour paper. I love this paper as I am able to blend and layer pencil marks without the paper sagging. Both drawings are A4 and with the simple oak frames measure 32 cm x 42 cm perfect size for any home!
