Sketchbooks:   sketches in pencil, charcoal, watercolour, oil, mixed media, pastel - all sorts!   Sketching plein air is a very important element in my work.   Larger canvasses and studio work evolve from these.

The coast

I love the light and changing colours  and tides  of the coastline.  Having lived on the coast in Cornwall, Gibraltar, Malta and Scotland in my childhood it's somewhere very special to me.

The Shires:   Sketches and plein air work in Leicestershire

Flowers:  close ups of flowers

Cats and Animals:  I often do quick sketches of my cats and also spent some time working at a local zoo, studying the orang utans and gorillas
