Light and Shade
As we move towards winter, the days get ever shorter and the shadows longer and the sun sits ever lower in the sky, and I can understand where the tradition of ‘Hygge’ here in Denmark came from, and why the

Early Morning Light, Billund, Denmark
I love the mornings at this time of year, with a cooler sun the mornings are heavy with dew and morning fog, and full of long shadows and dark corners of undergrowth.

Pine Trees
I can’t stop drawing pine trees at the moment. Some trees seem to spend their energy on spreading their branches as they grow, whereas pine trees, seem to want to shoot straight up, as fast and as high as possible,

A green tunnel
I love this time of year when the rampant growth reshapes and transforms the landscape.

Syvårssøerne, Randbøl, Denmark
Another pencil sketch. I have deliberately limited myself at the moment to working outdoors, only with pencil on paper, in order not to get distracted by colour etc and increase my focus on what is possible with that medium. This

Retro Poster Illustration
Some Posters I have been working on for the area where I live. I love the retro feel of these, which somehow increases their appeal and makes them more evocative than just a plain picture or photograph would be.

Lake Lugano – Oskar Koller
It’s been warm enough to get my paint brush outside in the open air where at first I struggled to remember what to do with it. I’ve been looking at the work of Oskar Koller again. His work is deceptively

Almost Autumn
Experimenting with Copic marker pens as Autumn approaches! Markers are faster than watercolours but on the downside they are even less forgiving. Like a red wine stain on your Axminster, once the colours on the page there’s no taking it

after David Hockney
Some watercolour sketches, which have been in no way been influenced by those of David Hockney which I posted earlier today. The only reason I can think of that they’re better, is that he had more time than me! Or

Morcote
I managed to squeeze in some sketching and painting over the Christmas holidays. This is the same view in watercolour and pencil of Lake Lugano, from Riva Da L’indipendenza in Morcote.

The cute Coot?
Yesterday I spent a hour or so by Lake Lugano, trying to catch in watercolour, some of the beauty which is there. I love painting and sketching birds, somehow they’re a little like people in that they all have there

Autumn
What does autumn mean to you? Woodsmoke, coffee, bonfires, apples, walnuts and roasting chestnuts. The smell of decaying leaves and unknown fungi, the rustling sound in the trees that was not there a week ago, dark earth, complex, textured colours,
