Long Time no Blog!

It's so long since I have updated this, sorry folks, but it does show I've been working . . . honest!

My work has changed a bit since I was last here, more colour, probably due to the wet grey winter we are stuck in. Though up in this part of Yorkshire we aren't suffering the floods they are down south, my heart goes out to all those who have drowned homes, and especially to the farmers who have had to move stock and are desperate for help with fodder and the like, thank goodness they are being helped out by fello farmers the country over.

Since my last waffle on here i have been busy, lots of exhibitions and fairs, commissions too. And I'm getting new stuff ready for 2 exhibitions coming up in March, one at the Wensleydale Gallery in Leyburn, t'other at RHS Harlow Carr at Harrogate, lots of trees and birds coming up for those, my favourite subjects still. And this is where the colour comes in, I do love mediaeval manuscripts and have been inspired by the bright colours and oddly unreal birds and creatures represented in them, so my very recent work is a far cry from the black and white with subtle colours I always used to do, and will still do.

And now for something a little brighter!

Weirdy Bird is rather outrageous, especially for me, but I have to say, I'm enjoying a more flamboyant use of colour, and slightly stranger bird forms. 
bye bye for now xxx
