Figure drawing to screen print

This quickly produced screen print developed from a recent small sketchbook drawing made in the life class.

Painting - Evenlode

The study for the painting was done quite quickly in about an hour but the painting was done over a week. I'm pleased with it and feel it represents my current interests, derived from my own sketchbook drawing and ideas about painting. The title "Evenlode" is from the name of the river that runs through the valley in Oxfordshire where my parents live. It's also the name of a William Morris fabric design.

Ashmolean drawing again

 
I visited the Ashmolean again - this time with school - and was able to make these drawings. The museum is simply magnificent. Click image for a larger view.

Landscape Sketchbook work

I have been making quite a lot of drawings from landscape recently - these are all from observation from a moving coach. I've also been posting sketchbook work on a blog with my daughter over at drawtwo.
