What a fortnight it has been, a wedding, a conference and a few days r and r, spent painting, with lots of adventures thrown in. A ten thousand word essay would not do the events justice, so I shan't bother to try. The few days r and r, were taken at Dungeness; we stayed in a super b and b, right on the shingle shores edge, the weather was perfect.With Liz's blessing most of each day was spent sitting on the shingle amongst the old decaying fishing boats, mainly doing watercolours paintings; but tonight I am showing you an ink drawing, which I love. Do you know; I actually relaxed!

I am aware that people like coloured work, to me that is fine and I can produce that work. But where my heart is, and my main thrust as an artist must remain, is lying in my hands with the pen and ink. Somehow this medium is so expressive, I can say how I feel, when holding a pen. It is me. So I will do other things and work in other mediums, but please allow me to return often to my pen.
