Instagram

I use Instagram as a creative platform to support and showcase my artwork, sharing pieces that highlight my artistic journey.

Instagram also serves as a visual portfolio helping me connect with potential clients, galleries and collaborators. My posts are also used to inform potential clients which galleries, local art exhibitions and shows are currently displaying my work, so that should you wish, you can visit to view my art in person.

Another Charcoal landscape, this time looking towards Buttermere. There’s a single tree that stands at the start of the lake - that’s if someone hasn’t been a cut it down (Sycamore Gap😢) . Weather has been atrocious today so this seemed to fit the mood.

Knotts Lane. This is my running circuit, it’s a long gradual climb from the Lake Road and can get pretty blustery once you reach this junction. My first attempt at a landscape in charcoal. More to come I think…

Had fun drawing Herdwick Sheep at a charcoal workshop with my Painting Group last week. Haven’t really done much using charcoal but found it pleasantly rewarding. Also Herdy’s have such great characters, we had some good reference photos to use and I’m rather pleased with the results.
