In the Light of Day

These images have been based on entries in my sketch book journals specifically for a joint exhibition called In the Light of Day, with the landscape painter Martin Collins

While out walking I’m generally more interested in what’s down at my feet than what is ahead, intent on finding ‘treasure’ for my sketch book. From time to time I’ll stop and stare up at the hills or out at the sea if I’m walking on the beach but I have no particular desire to interpret the vastness of that view on paper.

My eye instead is drawn to the patterns of tiny rivulets of water around pebbles, the intensity of dandelions in full bloom along the verges or the swirling forms of autumn leaves around my feet
