BSID 2014

This drawing is inspired by my recent visit to Newcastle for the British Society for Investigative Dermatology Meeting. The annual dinner was held in the Great Hall at the Discovery Museum, a magnificent venue:

The drawing took me as long as it took the electricity board to fix a power cut in our village this morning. So much for catching up on work after the Easter break!

Inspired by Blickling, Norfolk

A long train journey to Newcastle stimulated this drawing based on a photo I took during a visit to Blickling, a National Trust property in Norfolk several years back. The iron gate made such a wonderful shadow in the sunshine and I have been wanting to try and draw it ever since.

Garden map

I've just moved house and have a wonderful landscaped garden. For my first year here I need to observe and record what is already present before deciding what to change (if anything). So here is my draft map with icons for the plants I have managed to identify.
