Posted on February 14, 2017

This Shetland pony was one of a small group that used to live in a field just down the lane from where we live. This might have been a bad hair day.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rusty Railings

Posted on February 7, 2017

These railings, around one of the larger houses in the local village of Mézières-sur-Issoire, could do with a fresh coat of paint; but would they necessarily look any better for it?

Tuesdays of Texture: Shoddy workmanship

Posted on January 31, 2017

After last week’s illustration of the high craft of the stonemason, here is a much shoddier example of building work, from a bricked-up doorway in the town of St. Junien.

Tuesdays of Texture: Look Up

Posted on January 24, 2017

Take a moment to look up as you enter St Mary’s church in Beverley and you’ll see some intricate carving – as well as some pretty scary faces.

Tuesdays of Texture: Frog

Posted on January 17, 2017

This is a detail of a metal sculpture that’s part of a water feature to be found in the old part of Sydney, down by Circular Quay.

There’s plenty of texture to be had, but I particularly like the way that the arc of water echoes the curve of the metalwork.

Tuesdays of Texture: Moss

Posted on January 10, 2017

I found this moss growing on a tree in the Beecraigs Country Park near Linlithgow in central Scotland. The texture (and colour) of the tree bark is also interesting.

Tuesdays of Texture: Rooftiles

Posted on December 27, 2016

Our builders got very excited when a friend of theirs offered them a pallet full of old roof tiles. They asked if they could leave them with us and of course we said yes. They left them, on the pallet, just outside our barn. That was about two years ago.
