201 - THE LIGHTHOUSE, BLYTH - COLOURED PENCILS - 2008
My hometown isn’t the most picturesque of places, but it does have a lighthouse that was built in the 18th century. The river was made deeper and narrower over the years and so the lighthouse is now inland. I have painted and drawn it before (as has L.S. Lowry) but decided to liven it up a little in this whimsically bent depiction of it.

After those many drawing of building you did a while ago with so many straight lines I guess you’re having an unconstrained fling and greatly enjoying it. Hardly a straight line in sight and lots of colour. It feels like being wrapped in blue bubble wrap – make it red bubble next time huh?

I think you’re having too much of that strong northern beer. Joking aside congratulations for being featured

Do you not get bendy buildings and blue bubbles in the sky where you live? This is a different part of England … you need a visa to visit us :)

wonderful curved buildings and nice colours. I love your work.

Everything is very very straight in London. There is a more gentle curl in Somerset from whence I hail. As for the sky, it can be anything you want, after all Constable nicked the Hampstead skies and put them in his Suffolk landscapes!

If only the people in my hometown liked my work as much as you people seem to …. I don’t have a very “English” style (I am half Welsh, so that’s my excuse) and my work is not traditional. Thank you sincerely for your lovely comments on my work today.
