I am doing a series of elongated drawings of the chameleons using a very cool Japanese brass nib pen which holds so much ink or a normal pen on Arches watercolour paper. There is so much detail in the drawings that it almost becomes a meditation.

I seem to have been quiet for 2 years. I have been drawing and painting. However the most exciting thing that I have done was to go to Madagascar last year. I went to see the wildlife and I absolutely loved seeing the lemurs and chameleons in the wild. Seeing lemurs stream through the forest like water with their extraordinary fleetness and grace, it was so thrilling. And watching chameleons move or not move as some were pretty stationery was amazing - their eyes, the huge range of textures and patterning on their skin, their strange and odd hands and feet like mittens.
