Part of the same painting, showing workers standing on a jetty. The painter has added highlights on their heads and shoulders from the moonlight.

I saw 'Whitby' in the Ferens a few weeks ago, same amazing luminosity. Every tiny detail is exquisite, like the moonlight on the fishermen.
Photo of a painting in a gallery. A moonlit scene of Whitby harbour. The sky is an unusual bluey green colour. The abbey is silhoutted in the background. An expanse of water reflects the moonlight in the middle ground. The water is framed by the rigging of ships. The painting has a broad gilt surround and picture frame.

Posting these again to see if omitting the trigger word in the alt text helps🫢. Two of the Roos Carr figures. On display at Hull and East Riding Museum.
Pen sketch of two wooden figures stood on a simple wooden boat, viewed side on. Black outlines with a light brown wash. The head, body and legs are made from a single, simply carved piece of wood. The arms and "bits" are made of curved sticks and slot into holes in the torso. 3 arms are missing but bith "bits" are present. The eyes are small quartz pebbles stuck into deep sockets.

Unfortunately I did get to try much Norsk mat during my short visit, except for cinnamon buns! So here's my not Norsk Mat version
Pen drawing with a bold green and blue background. Food items are left white with a loose black outline and detail. They are slices of pizza, ravioli pasta, a takeaway coffee cup, a cinnamon bum and a tin of liquorish sweets.

I saw an old cookbook in a Trondheim bookshop and loved the jacket design but the shop was closed so I drew my own version.
A pen drawing copy of a 1960s or 70s book jacket. Shows serving dishes, plates and tankards on a table. The background is bright red and yellow. The vessels are left white with loose black outlines and details.

Last of the Porto drawings, loved this huge scrap bunny down amongst the port cellars
Pen drawing showing the corner of a two storey yellow building with pan tile roof. It shows a large 3-D rabbit fashioned out of scrap plastic and metal and applied to the walls. Its ears reach the roof, it has huge bulbous eyes and long spikey whiskers.

And a straight on version. I find perspective very tricky!

I'd like to say this was a quick sketch of the steps at Bom Jesus do Monte but those stairways 🤯
Pen and wash sketch of flights of stairs leading up to the church with a fountain in the foreground. The paired staircases, hidden by white rendered balustrades, zig-zag upslope meeting at large landings at each stage.

Finch music.
Parallel telegraph wires running left to right and looking like musical staves. Lines of birds sit on the wire, looking like musical notes.

Lonely little legs.
Photo of a pair of white china legs held on the palm of my hand. The legs are cut off at the ankles and above the thighs. In the background is the field I found them in.

now available, along with this one, here --> www.ebay.co.uk/usr/ad1650
Collage showing a flurry of long tailed tit activity around strands of ivy against a blue sky. Some are caught mid-flight, some as they land, others and they take off. Each small bird is assembled from tiny pieces of handprinted paper in shades of white, pink and grey, with black for their distinctive tail feathers.
