I've recently been going a bit mad with foxes! And in the end, the final painting came out quite fruity.

I thought you might like to see some pages from my #sketchbook of my recent journey through the #Balkans. It was a whistlestop tour through #Croatia, #Montenegro, #Serbia and #Bosnia, so there wasn't a lot of time to draw. But I managed to squeeze a few sketches out anyway. #art #travels #painting

Whenever we go to #Pembrokeshire (that's every year), one of the places we ALWAYS visit is nearby #PentreIfan. It's the remains of a #Neolithic tomb, built 5,000 years ago and is surely Pembrokeshire's finest ancient monument. It's an old friend to me now. #ancientstonebothering
