Went to stay with some friends in LA at the weekend and spent an afternoon in their lovely back yard.
Summer the dog, an adorable labradoodle, helped me with my watercolour sketch...
Long live the sunshine!

summer solstice
Today is the longest day of the year, the summer solstice (for us in the northern hemisphere). This is an illustration I made for the poet Dick Russell who commissioned a set of cards for his summer and winter solstice poems. I picked elements from the poem and did a watercolour painting in summer greens...
Happy Midsummer everyone!

There's a feeling of summer in the air, and the sunshine and singing cicadas and warm breezes are all delightful. Happy solstice everyone!
yoga journal
Here are a few nice white line illustrations I did for Yoga Journal a while ago. 
They are sort of back-drops, but more atmospheric than realistic. I just love the fish and coral!
I tried to get a nice rich white chalky line quality, 
and did all sorts of sea creatures to follow through the underwater summer theme.
