Another linocut

Saw a cuckoo the other day whilst working near Abergavenny so incorporated it into a picture of The Skirrid mountain and a drystone wall that I am rebuilding at the moment. So have done one plate and am experimenting with colours for the next plate.

Aberdare Houses

This is a revamped linocut of an almost identical street scene looking down Wind St Aberdare, but done in a square format, 4 x4 in to fit a small IKEA frame and mount. The original was warped and this is not though it looks it in the photo!

Linocut Nebo Chapel, Hirwaun

Used yesterday's drawing to make linocut of the chapel, not quite finished yet but gives the general idea.

Nebo Chapel, Hirwaun

Latest and probably last sketch for Nebo Chapel, emphasising the wall and larg headstones.

Sketch for chapels IV

OK so there are only 3 chapels but more importantly am looking for a bit of poetry to go with it, preferably a welsh poem and preferably about chapels. The sentiment I like most is Larkin 'Church Going' but he's English and the poem is about churches.

Alderney Art Show

This is my effort for the Alderney Art Show, approx 2 foot square, ink and oil pastel on canvas. It shows the German command post and various images from the island including words found on the war memorial to the slave workers who built the concrete defence systems during the second world world and sillhoettes of various maritime plants.

Inspiration from the 1930's

Have been copying images or part images from McKnight -Kauffer and Richard Guyatt from the 1930's. Both of these were used as Shell posters inviting people to explore Britains' favourite landmarks by car.
