My work is representational and naturalistic. I go for a walk with a sketchbook and make drawings of anything that interests me. Then back home in the studio I use the sketches to try and make the best print that I possiby can.
"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

The last two days have been spent editioning this mezzotint. Once I'd settled into the rhythm of inking wiping and printing I managed a rate of 4 an hour.
