NATURE & LANDSCAPE SKETCHES

These ink or pencil sketches vary between sweeping landscapes to impressions of specific elements within the landscape designed to bring out the huge variety and beauty available to the observant viewer. Many of the sketches are approaching 50 years old, historical items from the beginning of the artist's career. Rather than issue these in their original size on paper in a fragile deteriorated state, they will be produced as a high quality 'Mixed Media' on canvas at a size enlarged to suit the recipient, which is why many drawings are specified as "0 x 0" for their width x height. Subject to the artist agreeing that drawing is able to carry the size increase required, the visual impact of the drawing is increased significantly by being enlarged. These canvases, not being fragile, can be hung without glass or framing on the wall as with an oil painting and the technology guarantees very long life.
