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.

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!)

Candle-light shadows. I set up little 'night theatres' in my bedroom. As darkness falls, I light strategically placed candles and watch the plays begin. A perfect activity for the darkest days of winter.
