Pebbles

A fun morning preparing for Tuesday's gelli printing workshop, which will use pebbles as a source of inspiration. The 'yellow series' are to show the process, while the blue ones are just fun! A great excuse to play!

Reflections in Derwentwater - an oil.

Following a lovely walk around Derwentwater earlier in the year click here , here's the oil painting. It's 75cm x 45cm .....

Gelli printing with plants

...and didn't we all have a lovely morning! Again a pleasure to teach this group in the Northern Fells workshop....and the cake was glorious!

Gelli printing with plants...

Being as it has snowed, hailed and sleeted practically all day I haven't felt guilty spending some time practising my printing in preparation for Tuesday's workshop.

Buttermere in March

Well we have decided to walk around Buttermere once  month this year - which should provide some interesting contrasts in photography as the year progresses. We set off, but had to abandon our first attempt to get there, because of the amount of wet snow on the road, but it had cleared after an hour....Surprisingly, given the forecast we actually got round in the dry too! The lake was definitely higher than usual and the path back into the village was more river like in places, than path like.

Plenty of water/snow melt  running off the fells this morning! 

Happisburgh Lighthouse

A linocut of this spectacular lighthouse and piece of coast ....
