“Somewhere in England”, inspired by a 1920s postcard.The sort of somewhere I’d probably choose to live if I didn’t have to work for a living…. Actually this might be a little far south for my ideal, I’d probably choose the Cotswolds. Digital pencil and wash, executed in the Procreate App on an iPad Pro.

“City Over the Bridge” – ‘City of Bath’, the first of the Great Western’s City class pulls a short passenger train of clerestory and low arc roof stock across a stone bridge.
