Drawings and sketches don't just exist in isolation, so this web site puts in context the circumstances that surround living as an artist, along with the constant challenge of not getting snowed under by the mundane, which conspires to convince us of the lie that we are all less than the Divine.

So every mark I make, no matter how humble, is a victory.

Now to avoid being pretentious I'll just get on with sketching....

West Cork Landscape

Back to the fundamentals of drawing

Spent today drawing still life. Intend to concentrate on the practice of drawing over the next 3 months or more. There is nothing that will improve the quality of my art work faster than the daily practice of drawing.

I intend to get out more into the townscapes and landscapes of West Cork over the weeks to come. Although winter has now arrived with gales force winds and heavy showers, the Irish landscape is amazing no matter what the season.

Time for the thermos flask of hot soup and warm jerseys!

Will put up some of the work resulting from this in the weeks to come.
