Hello! I wanted to write a post of thanks to readers of ‘Racing Lines’, as it is three years since it began. In that short time, I have been amazed and delighted by the response. I now have the honour of one of my posts being featured on ‘Freshly Pressed’. Creating a blog has been a wonderful experience and the outcomes more than I could possibly have imagined. Thanks very much indeed!
I’m a contemporary artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work is a return to 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 – even in a landscape there is movement everywhere! I capture the energy of elusive moments often starting with a quick pen and ink drawing. I write and publish my artworks on a blog called ‘Racing Lines’.
