Here are a couple of new landscape scenes inspired by woodcuts and by reading much ‘nature writing’. I’ve recently discovered the new magazine Earthlines just at the right time; I seem to be tuning into something. I continue to read many interesting books concerned with nature, place and our relationship to the more-than-human world. My list includes: The Peregrine, The Old Ways, The Wild Places, Becoming Animal, Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Otter Country……and many more. All make the “wild” an inviting and interesting place to be, but as it is, I don’t see much of it. Now winter is fast approaching, I’m happy indoors turning my attention to creative projects and letting my imagination thrive and trying to get my head around the latest version of this wordpress blog. Not easy!
This picture – more like a doodle – I’ve called The Seven Sisters after the cliffs with that name along the coast of Sussex around the mouth of the River Cuckmere.
This picture is based on a view across the Devil’s Dyke valley as seen from a viewpoint along the Saddlescombe Road.
This scene isn’t based on any particular place. I think the trees look a bit stark.
I love these drawings! Especially the one with the deer.
Hi Alexi , Hmmmm It is the Seven Sisters illustration that captures my interest the most. I really love it ! Do you know more of the story behind it ? I am sure that there is an Australian Dreamtime Story about 7 sisters as well !I will try and find out more to relay to you….
