An ‘Items in My Pocket’ sketch. It has been a while since I did one of these but I’ve found a couple from previous years. A simple way to capture a moment in life. The contents of my pockets haven’t changed too much! #inkdrawing #inkoftheday #itemsinmypocket #momentintime #sketchjournal

One more from my trip down to Cornwall. St Ives is a maze of beautiful narrow cobbled streets just perfect for wandering around with an ice cream or flat white. I loved the lamp in this one and a slice of the beach from a quiet spot up the hill. #cornwall #cornwallart #inkandwatercolour #stives

I had a wonderful time visiting my sister in Cornwall. Cornwall has a way of slowing you down, the light really is fantastic and I’m glad I had chance to make some sketches in my book. #cornwall #stives #watercolour #ink #sketcher

Sitting by the seaside, listening to the waves lapping beneath my feet. Listening to the seagulls screech, the boats creak and tinkle on the rocking waves. People pass by talking about their dogs and relationships, the smell of salt and vinegar is in the air. #cornwall #cornwallart #seasidesketcher

Happy Mothers Day to my mum, my wife and all wonderful mothers out there. Freesia in a blue vase, oil pastels, ink and scrapping on paper. 20x25cm. Could make a future gift card? What a gorgeous day in Edinburgh, perfect for family walks and time in the garden. Here’s to a great week ahead.

Happy Sad Memories. While look through old sketches for an exhibition I found this one of our cat Mocha who we had in our lives for 21 years but who sadly passed away around three years ago now. She is much missed and remembered when we look through photos or sketches :)

Taking a train down south to visit my sister and rushing past the motorway traffic while sketching the countryside feels pretty good. Lambs, farms trees, birds and rivers all whizzing past. This sketch is montage of all so don’t try and find this spot :) #TheBorders #TheLakes #TheNorth

The Cats. Chilling out, Whiskers up front and Misty having a drink in the background. I love using the dipping pen and yes this is proCATstination as I have commissions to get on with but its also practice and warming up for the drawing day ahead. #worklifebalance #inkdrawings
