I think I have finished this pencil drawing of some ancient pollarded beech trees on Leith Hill. I’m fascinated by the interconnection between trees. Is this 1 tree or 5, or more?

First proof of a new etching “The Shard from the Sky Garden”. Some tweaking required but I’m pretty happy with it so far.

Working on a new etching which I’m hoping to get finished in time for an upcoming exhibition at Morley College with other members of Southbank Printmakers. Nothing like a deadline to focus the mind!

I’ve bought my entries for the RA Summer Exhibition (or made my annual donation to their coffers?) but there are no printmakers on the committee this year so I wonder if I should even try? Who else is throwing their hat into the ring this year?

2024 felt like a busy and exciting year. Highlights included the RA Summer Exhibition, the RBA, the SGFA & the NEAC at the Mall Galleries, 2nd prize at the RBSA & being featured in Pressing Matters magazine. Can’t wait to get back into the studio! #reviewoftheyear #printmaker #printmaking #studio

Work in progress at the moment. Two zinc plate etchings of Lastours near Carcassonne. Plenty still to be done to get these where I want them…

WIP ‘The Thames looking east’ & ‘The Thames looking west’. I might make an edition like this & a 2nd edition with hand colouring. I hope these etchings will be in an exhibition next year with Southbank Printmakers “Tides and Tales”.

Thank you. He was a lovely boy who was 14 1/2 when he died. Nellie makes sure she keeps us entertained though!

Here are mine. Sadly, Dylan, the black and white one, is no longer with us but Nellie is as goofy as ever.

I learned a new word -
Komorebi 木漏れ日 (pronounced kō-mō-leh-bē) Literally, “sunlight leaking through trees,” it describes the beauty and wonder of rays of light dappling through overhead leaves, casting dancing shadows on the forest floor. I can feel some new work coming on…

Against my better judgement I will give yet another social media platform a try after the sorry decline of Twitter. I’m an artist printmaker and I am trying to find my friends from Twitter in the good old days! Here’s a pic of the etching plates I am working on this week. #hello #artist #printmaker
