Another typical view of France as the great race progresses – This time through a town where the houses are the most beautiful shade of honey pink – with shutters either open or closed, but really couldn’t be anywhere else! Very pretty and much missed by travellers this past 18 months!
This is also a new format – a larger square shape which is great for most compositions. This one is 28cm x 28cm (11in x 11in), which is a square version of A4 – It’s a nice size, gives room for some gestural marks!
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’.
