River washed trees and surrounding hills. Watercolour on paper. It was so hot that I had to load the brush heavily with paint. The paint dried on the paper quickly leaving sharp edges.

Just a quick sketch, thinking of working it up into a painting but haven’t decided yet…

A Still Life From Your Life
If I’m staying with someone I like to paint a still life from things in their house…

Louis
This is from 1997 when I was still at school; I was always discouraged from this graphic style by teachers so I don’t have much around.

Scottish Landscapes
Reminiscing about my time at University while thinking about new horizons. These two different landscapes were both captured while studying for my degree at the University of St Andrews.

Holly in Lincoln
Using black charcoal to study plant forms allows me to express the shapes I enjoy.

The Wasp
I wandered lonely as a wasp, who cannot find her feet
For every time she tries to land upon a tasty treat,
Waving hands and tempers flared, thwart her simple plan;
She only wants to settle down and feast upon some jam.

Talk
I really wish people could stop
Popping their own clogs
Or trying to pop their own clogs
By jumping from things or under things or into the sea
Or by other means
Things must feel terribly bad
Far and away beyond sad
With really no fun left to have
To End yourself quietly but violently; then finally
Be silent.
Third suicide in a year
I should put in a line about tears
For the sake of a rhyme?
No, the tears are not mine
They are shed by those closest, most dear
