Fantasy
At the end of my garden there are a number of trees which take on different images according to the light and the weather. It is great fun and a challenge to use the imagination to make a picture. The mermaid is sitting on a rock in the sea to attract innocent sailors. What is real and what is imaginary is up to the viewer to decide. Just click on an image to see it in more detail. Catrina, the skeleton in the wedding dress is part of the Day of the dead in Mexico who leads the ancestors to meet their living relatives. The last picture is that of a house in Cartagena, Colombia which featured in my exhibition entitled "travels in Colombia".

I am continuing to design greetings cards and have added new designs in greetings cards. I have also added a range of cards featuring drawings of cats some of which I donated to Cats' Protection which proved to be popular with their staff and visitors alike. Last year the Walk of Art was held in Horsforth. I had a table in St James' Church in Horsforth, and was well attended. My range of pictures and cards proved to be very popular. I hope to be doing the Walk of Art again. At this time, we do not know whether or not the Walk of Art will be going ahead. There are various suggestions, but it will not be in its usual format in July. Watch this space for further information.
In October, I did Inktober 2019 which is drawing an ink picture every day for the month. I used the prompt list, which gives you a different word for every day of the month of October. In January2019, I started to lead a sketching group in the u3a, the first venue was Abbey House Museum which proved to be very popular. However, along with lots of other things, meetings for sketching have been cancelled for the foreseeable future.
On 10th May 2019 to 5th July 2019 I exhibited on the first floor of Heart Bennett Road Headingley. The title was travels in Colombia. The pictures in acrylics are done from the original sketches done on a holiday in Colombia. I added two sketches of mythological characters which added interest to the exhibition itself.
I had 3 of my original drawings chosen for an exhibition in Aire Place Studios, Leeds, in June. However the exhibition has been postponed until 2021, and there will be a travelling exhibition of postcards and an on line gallery in the meantime. Watch this space for further details.
