A Tree For Palestine (And Other Drawings)
The Rowley Gallery window is full of all my own work! A rare treat. I don’t often get the opportunity these days.

A collection of ink drawings on bark paper, some old and some new, scribbles, glyphs, diagrams and prayers. Continue reading “A Tree For Palestine (And Other Drawings)”

An Eggardon Summer
Watercolours Liz Somerville
Eggardon Hill is an Iron Age hill fort to the north-east of Bridport in Dorset. I live on a farm half-way up it; the hill dominates the landscape behind us and in front there is a far-reaching view across Lyme Bay to Devon.
