Apparently, a bizarre cat lives behind this ancient door (albeit one with a modern lock) on a house in the medieval quarter of Confolens:

Tuesdays of Texture: Gnarled

Posted on February 21, 2017

It’s too early in the year to be able to say for sure what exactly this moss-covered tree (bush?) is, but it’s espaliered against part of the old ramparts of the town of Confolens – and obviously has been for some time:

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?

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.

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.
