Head down and short walks in this bracing weather - Thruscross and Grimwith Reservoirs are always good for wintry days with beautiful views and decent paths.

My silk collage art is now on display at Chantry House Gallery in Ripley, North Yorkshire alongside fantastic pieces by fine artists Emmerson Mayes and Richard Snowden. Current silk collage work has taken me away from my usual landscapes into the world of 'Creatures' in readiness for the next @ The Studio exhibition in Dacre Banks, Nidderdale. Photos of my main piece 'Eye' can be seen on my facebook page, both as work in progress and the final piece - it's based on butterfly wings but led me in a completely different direction, becoming the 'Eye'!
