For those of you who might be interested, Christmas was superb and the New Year in Sweden with my son and his family was also special. But of real interest to you all is my work, well that continued with a flourish; the image above is of a crack willow and it was completed during odd moments when time and family allowed whilst on the other side of the North Sea; the work is larger, slightly below A3 and I think that is the way forwards for the moment.

At present a moorland gorse bush is being produced and this is producing very different drawing problems, as the ground textures between a moor side and a river bank vary enormously.
