Strumble Head.



A very hastily sketched view in ink from long ago. Grabbing a few minutes recently, I threw some washes on it. It's strange how, after all this time, I can still clearly remember that great thunderhead speeding towards me as I frantically scribbled!! Strange also, looking back, how unaware I was that life for me was going to change, that it was going to fall apart, to shatter, and for a time I would wander under a sky too dark to paint. But the clouds blew away as they always do. It rains now and then, but now I live in warmth and light.   Ink and watercolour on cartridge paper.

  1. This looks so ominous. Your rocks are really good...rough and sharp. Nicely done.

  2. Thanks Joan. Dont know about you but I often find things dashed down rapidly turn out better than expected. Maybe it's because my own ideas dont have the chance to get in the way!

  3. A great sketch. It reminds me of a kind of a secretive and very special place where something particular will happen soon ... I am thinking of a scene that nromally happens in a fantasy and adventure film.
