Some initial sketch ideas for E17 Art Trail
Charcoal on paper.
I'm taking part in the E17arttrail in June 2024. It provides an opportunity for artists to display their work in venues around the Walthamstow area in London.
The theme is 'Value' so I am working around some figure drawings of my partner, my sister and her husband who are featured in this picture.

'Recompense'
The building is partly based on a Victorian folly from Copped Hall in Epping, (near my home in London). These motifs appear at intervals in my work. They compliment my interests in romantic poetry and the idea of the pathetic fallacy particularly with regards to notions of decay and ruin.

'Recompense' new series - work in progress
'...For I have learned,
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes
The still sad music of humanity...'
(William Wordsworth - Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey - 1798)
