| Title: Snowy Copse Medium: Watercolour On the edge of the Peak District above Poynton, the snow has almost turned this copse into a silhouette. |
 |
 |
Title: Dog Walking - Winter Medium: Watercolour The third of my dog walking series. Sometimes it gets cold and snowy up on Sponds Hill overlooking Lyme Park on the edge of the Peak District. The dogs have fun even if the owners don't. |
| Title: Dales' Barns Medium: Watercolour I love the hay meadows in the Yorkshire Dales and their associated barns. This scene is inspired from a trip to Swaledale. |
 |
 |
Title: Dog Walking - Autumn Medium: Watercolour The second of my dog walking series. In the autumn you just need to kick up leaves and where better to do it than in the Wyre Forest. |
| Title: Dog Walking - Summer Medium: Watercolour The first of a seasonal series depicting the joy of dog walking. This one is based around a scene on the Northumbrian coast and what a beautiful area it is. |

Title: February Landscape Medium: Watercolour February and the ploughed fields are covered with snow and this birch is apparently lifeless. However, there are still a few catkins that offer a gleaning to passing finches and, beneath the snow, the winter wheat has already turned the landscape green. |
| Title: Lock Gates Medium: Watercolour A Kestrel recovering its dignity after missing a field vole in the rough grass along the tow path. Though many stretches of canal are being renovated there is usually a good strip of rough grass which is mostly undisturbed and, like motorway verges, will support a good population of small mammals. |

Title: Autumnal Path Medium: Watercolour This scene is actually of a woodland path in Charnwood Forest in the East Midlands, although it could be any local wood. Even when wet and misty, autumn woods can be colourful and a great place for a walk. |
| Title: Snowbound Medium: Watercolour The old village of Kegworth is situated on a terrace above the River Soar. East Midland winters being both cold and wet often leave it surrounded by water, ice or snow. |

 |
Title: Kegworth in Snow Medium: Watercolour January and this rook is perhaps rather perplexed. Only a few days ago in milder weather it was making a great commotion inspecting its nest of rough twigs high in the local copse. |
| Title: Down by the Sea Medium: Watercolour Lots of ozone here! |
 |
 |
Title: Cows in the Snow Medium: Watercolour Winter has brought a halt to grass growth and the problem for livestock is lack of grazing rather than the cold. These cattle are hanging around the old farm out-buildings, on a bleak mid-winter day in the Welsh Marches, waiting for more bales of hay to be broken open. |
