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.

Pastel on paper 76x56cm Unframed This long suffering duck was being relentlessly chased around the lake by ardent drakes hoping to mate. She had a look of stoicism about her.
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.
Pastel on paper 70x50cm Unframed This Robin started visiting my feeder after all the summer migrants had gone. I never saw him there during the summer months but it's lovely to see him now and draw his portrait.
Collage on paper 76x56cms, paper size Another member of the beguiling Corvid family, and, like the crows and ravens, also known for its intelligence and problem-solving abilities. Collage seems to give them the extra heft they deserve: this one is made from hand cut paper pieces in all the blues and blacks and greys that make up the feather colours.
Rook Collage Collage on paper 76x56cms (paper size) Framed This Rook collage is made from a variety of coloured paper pieces - blues, greys, blacks, built up over several layers to create the feather patterns and the bone structure underneath. I start with a drawing and this one comes from a week I spent on the island of Colonsay in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. UK shipping is £70. Or you can collect from my London…
