It was a small piece of lino that I cut for this cockerel. I had in mind the Japanese netsuke carvings, where all the carving is contained within a small piece of ivory.

The cockerel is somewhat similar to one of my Llanfair neighbour's, which was still happily scratching in 1998 when I first sketched it.

This etching features a flock of newly shorn sheep standing on a tump beneath the moon.
How ridiculous they all look once they've been shorn, gathering together to hide their embarrassment.

The balustrades against the blue cedar immediately reminded me of a childhood storybook in which a white peacock magically stood out in the dusk.

I have placed the peacock in the Rose Garden in the National Trust House at Erddig, near Wrexham ~ North Wales. I love the shapes of the brick Dutch gable in the Victorian parterre.

In this etching I lie with my love beneath a horse chestnut tree with flowers like candelabras, and a full mid-summer moon. To make love outside on a warm evening is magic.

Inspired by an old photograph which unintentionally looked like an optical illusion of an overloaded cow at Cilgerranfair, in Wales. I quite identified with the poor beast.

Ominous hats to shade off the sun, reminiscent of Iberian dress of yesteryear. This etching is based on a cloudy recollection that I have of a picture of peasants by Matthias, a minor painter of the Nazi era.
