Sunlit hazel leaves on a delicate twig with autumnal loss of green chlorophyll pigment. Sunlit hazel leaf with veins and brown-red marks and yellow autumnal pigment showing. A frayed, torn, sunlit hazel leaf on delicate twig with veins and holes. Autumnal brown-red borders frame part of the leaf. Sunlit Hazel leaf on nearly horizontal twig. The fractal veins clearly visible. The leaf borders are decaying and brown.

A seagull I digitally mirrored twice, so that there are four seagulls flying towards each other. They have striking red legs and are all taking off from a concrete wall. Seen at Whitby beach a few years back. Gull sitting on a steel crane as if in charge of it, or keeping the balance. Seen Mevagissey, Cornwall. The original photo, uncropped and unmirrored. Seagull in Whitby, seemingly in charge of all food related matters, waiting for easy prey. Ice cream and fish&chips are favourites.

A donkey eye with long lashes and framed by bright fur. Donkeys eating straw. Two donkeys in the foreground facing each other looking very content and relaxed with their noses in the straw. Group of donkeys indoors munching straw and looking very peaceful. My West Highland Terrier Lily curiously looking over wooden fence wanting to touch noses and make friends with the donkeys, who are dasing and not interested in her.

Swan swimming on river Trent in Nottingham. The wing's plumage is slightly lifted and allows sunlight to shine through, revealing it's texture. Mirrored photo of a swan at Attenborough nature reserve. I made it black and white, because the swan's plumage was quite yellow! 🙂 Cute- looking swan at the shore of Rushcliffe country park lake. A lovely orange beak. Plumage of a swan. I flipped and mirrored a close-up of a photo, rendering it abstract and symmetrical. It reveals the interplay of light and shade, their structured patterns and soft texture

A delicate branch with translucent, sunlit lime tree leaves seen from below, showing their veins and signs of autumn, because the leaf margins have started loosing their green chlorophyll colour, turning red-orange-brown. Blurred leaves and blue sky in the background. Similar to image one, but a slightly lager, vertical branch line on the right side running from top to bottom of the photo. The lime tree leaves show an interplay of light and dark green shade l, and their veins can be seen as we are looking from below against net the sunlight coming from the side. Blue sky and blurred background leaves. A large, single translucent lime tree leaf showing its vein pattern, against a dark blue, and green- black background of blurred tree canopy. Dark and bright tree leaves captured with a small cloud against blue sky in a local woodland.

'Links around the world', oil on canvas, shown in situ on a grey wall with exhibition label. Orange nets crossing inside a bright yellow-green circle. Fragments of the nets, which continue beyond the globe, surrounding the circle as satellite-like shapes on vibrant orange background. 'Lifelines' (acrylic on wooden board). Two vibrantly colored, intersecting nets form a nearly symmetrical pattern. Only the outlines of the nets show and some of them are not straight and have wriggles. Dots or bubbles appear inside and outside the net, giving it an organic quality and the impression of an exchange or flow going on, similar to a birds eye view or an a microscopic/cellular level.

The colour is due to ferric oxide in the rocks. Sidmouth beach with red/rust coloured water due to the red sandstone. Seagulls in the foreground. Steep red sandstone cliffs next to the sea with water almost reaching their base. Only seagulls can be seen on the pebble beach.
