I have made a lot of sketches of landscapes including field patterns and hill sides, rivers and roads and lots of skies. Here I have made a large abstract version of a storm passing  over a moorland landscape.

We like to visit the East Sussex coast when we go to visit our son and his family, the white cliffs being a particular favourite landscape, so different from the sandy shores of South West Lancashire.

I have made quite a number of sketches of Blencathra from Tewit Tarn recently and have worked three of them up into large pastel drawings trying to reflect different light condition depending on weather and time of day. I have placed them all in autumn to provide the widest possible range of colours.

Blencathra – autumn evening

Autumn afternoon on Blencathra – Collection of Howard and Sue Green

Seven drawings of fields, crags, cliffs and tarns.

The rain has just passed and the ground glimmers in the wet.

Four pure abstract drawings using coloured pencils.

Crags, streams, waterfalls, tarns, grass, bracken and lots of sky are all in my mind when I am drawing these sketches. We can’t go there at the moment so I have to re-imagine them.

Three pencil sketches, mainly based on the patterns of fields seen from a high vantage point.
