Thought I could share a few more drawings from this week with you. All sticking within the same style of earlier in the week.

Drawing – Babywearing mother walking
Really pleased with this drawing so I thought I’d pull it out separately. It represents a mother babywearing, walking her child through a field. Not sure you can get all that from a few simple lines, but for me it is incredibly vivid.

Drawing – Sunrise Walk
This is a drawing that’s actually from last nights streetlight drawing session, depicting someone walking into the sunrise. Really fond of the style I draw in these days, I just need to develop into something a bit more interesting. Any thoughts gratefully received

Drawing – babywearer in the city
A drawing from my sketchbook, this is only a few months old, I stumbled upon it last night while I spent a blissful 45 minutes sat in the garden drawing by streetlight. Such a wonderful way to spend part of an evening.
I’ve decided to simply call this what it is, ‘Babywearer in the City’

Drawing – Sapling Child
First drawing I thought I’d share is one I call Sapling. It’s a sapling child, based on an idea I have drawn various things around since I was 16 and working on an art project. The original concept came from a photo of my -then- baby niece, holding her hands above her head, wanting to be held.
The whole children growing like plants idea isn’t much of a leap when considering infants, however the idea was founded more in how her arms were spread in the picture. It was that which made me think of nature and children. Here’s a version from my sketchbook.

Art – Walk, a City Painting
A really simple painting (but then I suppose all of mine are). I love this and I vividly remember painting it. It wasn’t planned, it just all fell together. I remember sitting panicked and trying not to rush as I felt I was on to something. I really think I was.
This painting however, is full of regret. I sold it and very cheaply, I wish I had held on to it.

Art – "Abstract Soul"
Abstract Soul
“Abstract Soul” is actually a personal favourite of mine. I was experimenting on a piece of shiny backing paper from a picture frame and came up with this in about five minutes. I used a black marker and spread the paint with my fingers. It’s not exactly a master piece, but I’m fond of it. It coyly sits on the back of my chest of drawers but it always catches my eye.

Art – Identity
Identity
“Identity” is definitely a painting that people find dark. I remember painting it whilst listening to ‘Live at the Gyspy Tea Rooms’ By Joseph Arthur (a great live recording, well worth a listen). I think I was actually in quite good spirits that day, but this is certainly brooding if not sinister.
