Ironbridge in the Snow Lightly ridged off-white - recycled Price (no P&P charges) - £1.80 Original - drawing with watercolour Top of page | The superb bridge has been drawn and painted innumerable times, but its grandeur never fails to attract more pencils and brushes.

Asterley Windmill Lightly ridged off-white - recycled Price (no P&P charges) - £1.80 Original - drawing with watercolour Top of page | This great corn grinding machine which for ages was so hard-working is back in working order, and the great sails turn at times.

Alhambra Milk white - hammered surface Price (no P&P charges) - £1.60 Original - oil Top of page | I look forward to seeing Granada’s beautiful Moorish palace once more, one day. The Alhambra is surely one of the most magical places in the whole of Spain. The air seems drenched with the perfumes of jasmine and orange blossom. The trickling of water and the sound of the nightingales puts me in mind of the tales of the Arabian thousand and one nights. The constant croaking of the frogs from pools beneath the trees reminds me of my own pond at home. In this impression I have tried to capture the power of the many parts of the vast palace, and the rich colours of its immense brick walls. ![]() ![]() |

Stokesay Castle Lightly ridged off-white - recycled Price (no P&P charges) - £1.80 Original - drawing with watercolour Top of page | This beautiful building has been captured in all its glory. The sky is a true Shropshire blue, and the kind of sky that people like to see in summer pictures.
