leaves from the studio floor

I despair of ever getting my attic studio here at Ty Isaf into any semblance of order. But the good thing is that every now and again I find things that I thought long lost, scattered in drifts in corners. Here are some drawings, and the images they gave birth to.

This lined-page of drawings was made when I was custodian at Tretower, and the painting was developed from them.

Life-study for the Barnfield Sonnets, and the image as it appeared in the book.

Ink study for the Barnfield Sonnets, and the image as it appeared in the book.

  1. How interesting to see ‘pictorial echoes.’
    Love as ever from me, my ‘large hairy Jack’ and ‘Ted in the Beard.’

  2. I love looking back over older works – often casually discarded but bringing back exciting inspirational moments when rediscovered.
    May I take this opportunity to wish you and Peter a very happy Christmas and all the best for 2015. You have given me much pleasure throughout 2014. Thank you.
