These Caran dache pencils are among my favourites for outlining. They sharpen to a really fine point, allowing for high levels of detail. All the drawings shown on this page were created using these two types of pencil crayon.

'Kariama colour' pencils, now sadly unavailable in the U.K are soft and wonderful to work with.

'Pastures of Remembrance' coloured pencil drawing. A surreal landscape..these archytypal images represent remembrance of the Ancestors together with the dreamlike 'never never land' in which they exist..

'Elen of the Ways- Forest Dancer' coloured pencil drawing. This is my own vision of  an ancient British Goddess known as 'Elen of the ways' who is currently being re-interpreted and experienced by modern day followers. Historically, although not a great deal is known about her..she appears to have been connected with reindeer, which were once common in Britain, and with the trackways  and 'energy lines' of the land. I have shown her dancing in a forest glade with shamans drum and beater..
This is 'Spirit of Albion', an A4 drawing created with coloured pencils. I am very fond of this 'green lady' of the forest, and think of her as representing all that I love about woodlands and green growing things. I have named my Etsy shop 'House of the Green Lady' after this figure...

'The Guardian' coloured pencil drawing. This picture grew from meditative states as a celebration of Life and Life-force...the drawing expresses the magic and wonder, beauty and inter-connectedness of all things and is multi-layered. The central figure is somewhat enigmatic even to me! I see him as a kind of 'Daemon' / Green Man . When I came to work on the figure. I was aware of his feelings of love and protection towards living creatures.
