Little Boy Running Through A Puddle
Small Terracotta Study This is a study maquette in terracotta for a water feature of a little boy running through rain puddles. I stained it in copper oxide. I should like to make this in bronze – but not before I’ve made several more variations in terracotta to make sure that I get it the…

After #30 Days Wild I’m In Need Of A Comb!
The Wildlife Trusts Challenge during June, was to share our random acts of wildness photos using #30dayswild. I took photos and posted some of them on IG — but it’s not all about taking photos — it’s about SEEING and DOING. Obviously there are random acts of wildness that go unrecorded by the camera! Like…

O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
It’s coming up to the romantic time of year! So I’ve sketched a cartoon from the famous balcony scene from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (well, you can’t get more romantic than Romeo and Juliet can you?) Oops!
