Well it's been a couple of weeks since my last blog, sorry about my absence, but life has been good fun but rather hectic. A short break and research trip to the Medway Estuary in Kent occured and lots and lots of all sorts of events; Well here I am now taking a deep breath or two.

The old boats project is coming along very well, with my even finding time and being able to lapse back into some tree work. The above is the direction in which I seem to be moving at present; A2 sized images showing much more of the texture of the vegetations. The work is so challenging, it realy needs to be seen in reality, to be appreciated or understand, with it encompassing both negative and positive drawing, incorporating contrasts, textures and wide ranges of tonal variations in their production; whatever, it is very trying but also so rewarding in the conclusions. I will in the future be showing this work, but one thing at a time; old coastal boats decaying is my current primary aim.

My next blog I intent to show where my watercolours are moving to.
