Out sketching in the field whenever I can.
Illustrating, painting and printmaking. New enlarged edition of Coastal Bird's book of linocuts coming soon
Adding watercolour to a sketch made from Bittern Hide, Minsmere, a view I often sat and contemplated with my dear friend Peter Partington who sadly passed away earlier this week. He was a great inspiration to many.
