I love "A Lapful of Windfalls", a 1935 wood engraving by Clare Leighton.

I have just replaced my dilapidated old website with a shiny new one. If you like wood engraving prints it may be worth a visit. I’d be very grateful for boosts, a small increase in traffic on the site might persuade me that my time was well spent! I will now go back to paint and ink.

Stonechat. Finished wood engraving, first test print, which I'm very pleased with and the photo that the engraving is based on, taken on one of our regular walks on Ilkley Moor.

Ilkley Moor, the alternative reality I can escape to in minutes. A distant horizon, the absence, mostly, of human clamour - and the wildlife, sadly depleted in this impoverished island, but still glorious.

A 180x90mm wood engraving. Gritstone, lichens and mosses, bilberry, cottongrass, crowberry and heather, green hairstreak butterfly, adder, curlew and red kite. And the ever present meadow pipit.
