The second weekend of 2013 Six Nations Rugby was a stark contrast to the first. Pitches carved up like ribbon, some teams faded while others surged. Scotland rode roughshod over Italy and a change in the fortunes of France and Wales, the latter’s young side developing with great pace and strength. Ireland and England’s match felt like two giants slogging it out. A weekend to contemplate indeed! 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.
