High Street, Broadway – Cotswolds

As I’ve previously mentioned I do like to revisit some of my art and rework it in different mediums. The scene above is one of those pictures. Previously posted in Pencil Drawing – ‘High Street, Broadway – Cotswolds’. The Pen and Ink scene above is very crisp and clear, whilst the pencil version offers more depth and character, I think. Broadway is a beautiful little village in the Cotswolds, where we have enjoyed many happy family holidays, when the children were younger!

‘Green Arms Road – Cows’

This little colourful pen and ink illustration, I have reproduced twice more in just Black and White Ink Sketch, and also as a Pastel Landscape. Whilst in coloured ink it it somewhat vibrant, compared to the pastel version, it is very much toned down as to how I normally paint, much more vividly in inks! (See other Pen and Inks in this section). It is a local scene, and very much exposed to the elements especially the wind, which would probably explain why the cows are all huddling together by the fence.

Below I have also included the Black and white Ink Sketch and the Pastel Landscape version (Found also in Landscapes – as; ‘Green Arms Road – Cows’)

‘Unwanted Items to be left on step!’

Whilst practising with my pen and inks a few years ago, I sketched this little imaginary scene. Initially is was meant to be nothing more than that. Though as I drew little bits here and there and then added the little girl,  the scene became more thought provoking to me. I had already put the notice on the door and the sad little teddy, parcel and shoe on the step but thought it should have something more – That is when I loosely sketched the small figure.  The slight tilt on her head made me wonder; Is she sad to leave her Teddy? Has she not read the sign on the door? Is she just sitting there by accident? Or indeed, does She feel unwanted? After I added coloured ink, I showed the sketch to my children for their opinions, not so much for the subject but the practice with the inks. They were both deeply touched with the little sad scene and they had their thoughts on it too. In the end this little picture drew so much emotional thought and discussion that I decided to frame it – Surely, whether good or bad,  that is what art is all about!?!

Edgworth Overspill

With a beautiful autumn scene captured on camera, I decided to take a new approach. Instead of using my favoured mediums of oil paint or pastel, I dug out of the cupboard a set of coloured inks. Wow! I was really happy with the vibrant landscape creation.

A drawing I did for my Nephew and his wife as a Wedding present. It is special to them as it is where he proposed whilst playing Pooh sticks.
