Lately I have been ill... Really ill. The kind of sickness that leaves you unable to move and barely think. In fact, I am only just coming out of it and I keep finding myself so desperately tired that I am worried I have caught something else. It was just a tonsillitis infection, no big… Continue reading Treasure

Pungent
This time of year is always filled with smells. The Rayburn is on so there is the smell of smoke and we are cooking more roasts. Basically, winter in our house simply smells good. At the moment there is a bit of beef cooking with roast vegetable and a baked potato... No Yorkshire pudding but… Continue reading Pungent
Anticipation
Everyone gets it... You anticipate a meal or a new dress. You sit at the edge of your seat waiting for the newest movie to start in the cinema. It is the crawling butterfly sensation that leaves you feeling slightly sick and excited. The anticipation can leave you making a mistake or doing something silly.… Continue reading Anticipation
Pet Portraits
I'm offering a few places this year for pet portraits, so if you want your dog, cat, horse, rabbit, snake... Well, your pet drawing or painting then let me know. I'm also offering digital drawings... These arrive with you as a file that you can have them printed on anything from mugs to canvas.
Sincere
When I was studying for my degree, a joint in Biology and Art, I had a friend. We didn't really start hanging out until the second year. By the third year we had rooms next to each other. I was a different person then. I was naive and people could take advantage of me. I… Continue reading Sincere
Christmas Cards

Why I draw…
I have a secret. Actually, it is an old one. It has to be. You see I've been doing it for ages, even in public... I do it on the grass, in my workshop, in front of my family, in front of strangers. And all anyone says is - wow. That's good. Or - I… Continue reading Why I draw…
Transformation
I turned up yesterday with two large plastic boxes. Both are ordinary... Both have black lids. I went back to the car and picked up a striped fabric bag about 3 ft by 3ft. I walked into the blank space and yelled hello to everyone. I got shouts and waves back. People started to arrive… Continue reading Transformation
Artifical
I have issues that mean I find it difficult to read other peoples expressions and feelings. What can seem like a fake smile to a someone else I will see as genuine. I can't see it. I have tried but it is difficult. I have very little facial recognition and have lost friends because I've… Continue reading Artifical
