Small drawing series This Bee drawing was made as part of a series in the summer months when bumblebees and honey bees were frequent visitors to my studio. Sometimes there were so many of them buzzing about that the noise was quite distracting. They are all small works, except I couldn't resist doing one large bee drawing too.

I love coal tits. They are a common British bird and have a beautiful black head with white cheeks. In winter you can see flocks of coal tits roaming through woodland, feeding and storing food for later. For sale here: https://linton59.co.uk Pastel 86x66 cms Framed

Charcoal on paper 76x56 cm Unframed I keep going back to drawing hares as they are far and away my favourite animal in the UK. They are graceful, mysterious creatures with huge eyes and long, long ears. Hares are not still for long as they are shy, hyper-alert animals and they are hard to spot as they are usually concealed by the crops in the fields they run in.

It's been fascinating to work on this series of Collage Hares, giving me so much freedom to choose the colours and make the printed paper to use for the cutouts.

I was hiking in the Lake District last year and came across these beautiful Herdwick sheep. Tightly wrapped in their pale woolly coats against the winter cold.
To my great delight this summer, shrews have been coming into the studio while the door is open (along with birds, bees, butterflies and dragon flies.) I hope this means I have a healthy population of them in my garden. Pastel 42x29.5cms Unframed
I love watching the new fledglings emerge in the spring, learning to fly, learning to be grown ups. And charcoal really shows the layers and shapes of the feathers. 56x76cm Charcoal on paper Framed
