Many years ago whilst searching through the bric-a-brac shops in Margate, Kent where we were living at the time, I came across some very old photographs that were in a dilapidated condition, this was a drawing I made eventually some years later from one of those. I have always been interested in the rural Country crafts of the UK and particularly those that will never be seen again of which there are many and growing in number.

Drawn in a 'softish' HB pencil onto (strangely enough) a quality pastel paper, one with a high fleck finish, it seemed just right for this subject. I am not precious about having the right paper etc for the job, although it is important with some projects certainly, it quite often is the case that that might be the only piece to hand or more than likely it just looked and felt right.

Whilst the original is not for sale, Giclée prints can be taken from it if requested? The 12" x 8.5" (29.7cm x 21cm approx) prints would be on superior archive quality 192gsm paper supplied as print only and not mounted or framed. The Open Edition Print would be bagged carefully and supplied in a protective postal tube for safety. If you are interested, then by all means please drop me an email via the 'Contact us' drop down menu above where I would be happy to answer any correspondence from you.

I am always willing to accept commissions for drawing, painting, Illustration and designing etc, (depending on current workloads), please feel free to drop me a line to discuss your requirements, thank you.
