Well, sort of.
I love Cornwall, specifically the coastline. And when I get the opportunity to visit I always load the car with all my 'arty farty stuff', as my OH calls it, along with the kitchen sink, in anticipation of doing a bit of sketching, painting etc.
Last year was no exception.
I rely heavily on taking photographs, as the light, weather, view, tide and colours can change in a second.
There are a few lightning sketches of some gulls that I can still work with.
They are notorious for not keeping still - they seem to sense they are being drawn!
So the other day I got out my shoe box of vintage Dryad lino block printing stuff (bought for a song) and settled down to a good gouge out, as I like to call it.
I haven't done any since my college days and I was in my element.
Meet Geoffrey....
