Packhorse Bridge

1 May 2026 Graeme Skinner

I took a photo of this bridge (the packhorse bridge in Ivegill) to use in a painting, but while I pondered the painting I thought it would work as a pen and ink drawing. Given my hand issues (inner expletive), this has taken far too many weeks to complete.

A Daughter of Meg

Returning to my (almost) obsession with painting/drawing/photographing standing stones, here’s one of Long Megs offspring….

Pledge

13 September 2024 Graeme Skinner

We enjoyed visiting the Jackie Morris exhibition at Rheged, Penrith a couple of times this summer. There was a poster on display which we liked however we couldn’t buy a copy (being a poor starving artist and the fact they had none left ;-)). Fast forward a week or three and I was looking for some type to play with, and I decided to make my own version (it’s just for fun), being digital it doesn’t have the same feel but I enjoyed playing.

Hare today

31 March 2024 Graeme Skinner

I’ve not tried Lino cutting for a while so decided to attempt a print of a hare. As I was cutting away I thought a bench hook would be quite handy to stop the Lino sliding away, looking online they were £20+ which I thought a bit steep for a few bits of wood, a quick tinker in the workshop with some scraps of wood and I had something which worked quite well. Might tinker a bit more with the Lino but this is it so far….
