It felt strangely familiar when I was drawing its shadow, and I thought it would be interesting to show my original artist's impression of the design for the forge, but unfortunately I couldn't find it in time before posting today - if I come across it I'll post it next week.
The photo I posted last weekend of the shadow cast by a wrought iron table in our garden interested me so much I couldn't resist drawing it: the tilt and strange perspective, shadows on the patio, and lichen patterns wandering across stony textures proved irresistible to my mind. The table is one I designed for my shop back in the '90s, a prototype for the Provençal range of dining furniture hand-forged by Stan Pike which became a best seller for the business (and also got ripped off by someone photographing the window display, and copies turned up later in Prague). I didn't have the prototype powder-coated, and it wasn't designed to be outside so mine has rusted in the garden, expressed by the brown colour in the drawing above. The finished dining sets were available finished in a clear coat to show the beauty of the natural metal, or in customised funky colours to suit clients' interior design specs.

Welcome to my work journal - a weekly update on drawings, work in progress, doodles and day-dreaming.
I changed the website address a few months ago, so some older links on previous posts are broken. If you click one of those and it takes you to a strange page, simply replace the .co.uk after the heatherelizawalker. with weebly.com and it will work again. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As well as the work you see here, I illustrate under the name of Binky McKee (my mother's maiden name was McKee, Binky was every single one of my great grandmother's many cats!)
If you would like to visit my Binky website, please click the picture above. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Dissolving PeopleA symbol on the footpath outside a local primary school gradually disappearing as the image breaks up and wears away until eventually it is obliterated by leaves and barely discernible. Photographed at intervals of several months between February 2021 and November 2022, oldest at the top.
(My shoes look so new in the first pic, and note the transition to new phone in the last photo). <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
