A small sketchbook watercolour drawing of Southampton docks with cranes reaching up into the sky and a few gulls having a break from stealing bags of chips from people.
Just a little sketch from a visit to Southampton in 1998. I wandered around looking for something to draw and settled for a quick seascape of the docks with gulls. A cold wind coming off the water.

A group of yellow-brick houses behind a wall and a curve of hedge with red berries in it. The sky is dark blue cloud, and there is a strong light from the side highlighting parts of the houses' gable ends and television aerials.
Light after rain.

I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍
Abstract painting. Jewel-toned waves of color—black, blue, red, green, and white—band and blend together in streaks against an orange background. The effect is like a jagged puddle made of melting agates.
