Six Nations Rugby continued with England and Scotland playing for the Calcutta cup. What a fantastic game? Fast and furious – from late afternoon to evening with great change in light on the way. The pace was relentless all the way through, I really couldn’t keep up! So difficult to draw – I was transfixed by socks! So many pairs and all black! The drawings were ragged and abstract – but what a game! Here are my drawings:

I’m a mixed media visual artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work reflects my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – there is movement and energy everywhere.
