I am delighted to be taking part in the Christmas exhibition of small works at Open Eye Gallery in Edinburgh. I am showing this little drawing made in the past few weeks, plus two on the posts below.

The Natural World

7/12/2016

This is something I see a lot where I live in Scotland: a high peak puncturing a cloud. There are often cloud inversions, too. The soldering iron had a part to play in this one along with those paper discs you find in your hole-punching tray, and some glue and ink.
These drawings are very small, by the way: about 16cm square.

I work a LOT in sketchbooks and always have several on the go. My dad was an architect and naval draughtsman, and after he died in 2017 I found heaps of old templates while clearing out his study. Always having been an avid collector of shapes, at the beginning of this year I bought a WHSmith A5 diary to use as a sketchbook specifically for work based on them.

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
