Twilight, a time to work fast

As the clocks go back, the weather worsens, and the dark nights draw in, there is time in this post to reflect on the last few mild sunny evenings that we've enjoyed here in North Somerset and Bristol. I have been spending time on these sunny evenings on a farm track near Long Ashton, drawing the sun setting over a small village nearby called Yanley.

Introducing A Somerset Sketchbook

A Somerset Sketchbook has been added to my website.

This new sketchbook features drawings created between May 2013 to the present, at locations around North Somerset. Many of the drawings have since been worked on and developed further, some of which are due to appear on the walls of the Centrespace Gallery in December, as part of my charcoal drawing exhibition LandEscapes - New Charcoal Drawings.

Featured in this post are three of the new drawings now uploaded to my website.
