wrinkles and creases…

A detail of another recent ink and tissue experimental piece (shown in full below), to show the lovely way the ink runs into the wrinkles and creases in this method, suggesting natural features. This detail is roughly actual size.
(Hopefully this one will show an enlarged view when clicked on! I’ve been having difficulty getting this aspect to work when using the ‘shortcut’ New Post facility in WordPress).
I am so excited by this way of working!

seeing lavender…
After following a small path through woodland and undergrowth, then open saltmarsh and wide skies this was the inspirational view I stumbled on back in late summer on a glorious day near Thornham saltmarsh, Norfolk… a huge swathe of pale purple sea lavender flowers.

Below is the little sketch I did on the spot… can’t wait to re-interpret this as a large painting sometime!
