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.

oh boy, your drawing is exquisite Clive, just drop-dead gorgeous !
How interesting to see ‘pictorial echoes.’
Love as ever from me, my ‘large hairy Jack’ and ‘Ted in the Beard.’

Very nice to see what an autumn cleaning can deliver.
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.
