This is a drawing of my lurcher BobbieSox. it is 75 x 56 cms, graphite on beautiful 425 gm paper.
She moved soon after I started, then moved again, so she has 6 legs, but I really liked the drawing and did not feel that it mattered, in fact I feel that it just re-states what she is like, very leggy, with long claws. I entered this for the Jerwood Prize. I think it was accepted, but not hung, hey ho. The floating hill is the 4th or 5th in a series I did after driving past a Somerset mump, near Cheddar. I caught this dark sharp out of the corner of my eye, went home and drew it, then drew it some more and then let it float up.

Welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. No point rushing the first 100 years.

Hello drawinglady, I have come to visit your site as a consequence of starting my own blog in the last few days. That is a great drawing of a lurcher, and I liked (a lot) your description of the effects of snow too, elsewhere.
My blog is lurcher/Saluki centred + odd other stuff. Will this message take you to it? I don’t know, I too am a 100 yrs behind on this.
all best (is this the right sign-off
