Arlington House, 2017

The view from my desk in November. The branches of the silver birch were drawn first with the tip of a candle, sharpened as if it were a crayon, so that it would repel watercolour when afterwards it was painted as a wash over the trees.

Worktop, plan chests, set squares and rubbish baskets, 2017

In the studio itself are a big working desk that can tilt if necessary, surrounded by the things I need most often: paints, a lifetime’s accumulation of watercolour brushes plus a few really new ones, watercolour boxes and pens and pencils and an old-fashioned pencil sharpener, the phone, a pocket camera and a computer on which I can look at photos and arrange page layouts and write (but not yet draw). At the other side of the room are more pinboards, plan chests and filing cabinets, a sink, two more windows, a whole-wall bookcase full of books and old sketchbooks and solander boxes for archives, and our cat’s Ikea chair.
