The Fenland of Cambridgeshire is my photographic “backyard” -a place of wide open landscape broken by drains, droves and lines. The rich black peat , slowly eroding contrasts against constantly changing light.

Using pinhole, polaroid and Holga cameras I try to capture the still beauty of the place.

Two landscape watercolour paintings in soft, muted colours. The left had painting has a tree in a gentle landscape and the right hand painting is full of detail and texture. Both landscape paintings are shown in light oak frames.

Folktale Week day 2: echo

where the Moon is looking for its friend

#folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 #kidlitart #illustration
Illustration of an anthromorphic moon standing on a cloud, shouting 'HELLO!' at the sky. The moon has a bat friend who is flying next to it, looking confused. There is a smaller speech bubble with a 'HELLO!' coming from the sky. There are clouds with various things on them in the sky - a house, a horse, a cat on a chair, a car, a pine tree.

I'm participating in #folktaleweek2025. Prompt 1: NIGHT

To see this in triptych form, check it out over on IG. The challenge this week was to:

1. Make a triptych.
2. Use a flat folk-inspired style.
3. Tell a story.
4. Same color palette all week.

I'm spending my afternoon doing thumbnails, and if everything aligns, I might be doing Folktale Week for the first time this year. 👀
