Watercolours inspired by reading Robert Macfarlane's Underland and Jules Verne's Journey to the Interior of the earth. I used granulating paints with earth pigments in the mix: black or red iron oxide which, for me, adds to the elemental earthy feel of the work. Crevasses, chasms, caves and elemental depths. And a moonsail boat to travel through air and water.
It is the year of the water rabbit in the Chinese calender. Here are some whimsical sketchbook explorations of water rabbits

I found this piece in a pile of very old work. It spoke to me of a current elemental theme of all in one and one in all as I continue to explore the elements of earth, water, fire, air and space.
All the elements in one element
One element in all the elements
