black and white

I have been sifting through old boxes and art folders and have come across some of my drawings that I did some years ago, thought I would share them with you…..

 

These two studies of flowers were done around the time I was staying with a friend at her Suffolk cottage.  A beautiful place tucked away in the depths of the countryside.

 

The flowers and herbs were picked in her garden and the jug was one that she made herself.

 

This view of pretty cottages was taken from a photograph that I took.    unfortunately I can’t remember where it was taken.

 

This is an imaginary landscape, that was eventually chosen by a friend to use on their business stationery.

 

This one was inspired by the town houses that I used to see while I was at college.

 

I seem to remember that I based this cottage window on a photograph I once saw in an old copy of Country Living.

 

This illustration came about after waking up to a wintery scene after it had snowed overnight.  Black and white illustration is something that I have always enjoyed doing and it was lovely to rediscover these pictures after so long, it makes me wonder what I am going to turn up next!
