Self-tattooed man on the northern line

I saw this man asleep as soon as I got on the train, he was wearing a white nylon tracksuit and had his hands folded over his bulky belly. He had several self inked tattoos including one that said "Dee" written at an odd angle down his thumb. I hesitated before taking out my sketchbook as he appeared to stir often and looked slightly dangerous. I overcame the possibility of him waking to find me staring intently at him by drawing into my sketchbook which had been carefully placed inside my handbag. I figured I could shut it in there if I needed to make a fast getaway.

Pearl and Dan in La Chapelle

A portrait of Pearl and Dan in La Chapelle, this is a surprisingly accurate record of how they spent that week.

The couple were eating breakfast, both had scrambled eggs on toast. They were both dressed head to toe in taupe garments which matched their hair colour and were reading The Guardian. The only means with which to capture this pale moment was to use the lightest H pencil I had.

Wonderful girl's weekend away in Sidmouth. After a very long cliff walk we came to rest at The Masons Arms Hotel in Branscombe where a satisfied customer was heard to compliment the barman on the food which she said had been so good "it tasted like breast milk" to which he replied "I've 'eard worse"

Pelting pebbles in Pembrokeshire

Sitting on a beach in Pembrokeshire in glorious sunshine is a rare but beautiful thing. A family had set up their own version of a coconut shy using the large smooth pebbles piled up on a rock shelf and were loudly pelting the piles with more pebbles. The son who was around 10 kept repeating "I seem to have an obsession with this." 

Welsh pony

A week in Wales with dry weather..and warm sunshine. There is a certain time in the early evening when all the ponies have just been fed, they run out into the field and all face the same way.

 

Painted really quickly in the break between breakfast and lunch. Thinking about the menu for dinner.
