"Nature"
In Sight: Palm leaves
This is a watercolour sketch I did when I was in Lima, sitting underneath palm trees on the cliff tops between Barranco and Miraflores.
In Sight: Orange Lichen

In Sight: Thistles

In Sight: View from the Train
On the train home from London I watched the sun setting and managed to capture this photo as we raced through the countryside. I love how the trees have blurred into the sky creating a grainy pattern.
