I love these landscapes by Ian, for the same reasons that I love British winters and Brutalist architecture.

Thank you Graham .. Always moving forward with exciting collaborative creatives : @philshallcross.bsky.social @daveproudlove.bsky.social @minxyowlwriter.bsky.social @intantainicus.bsky.social

This is evocative of my childhood in the Midwest.

'The Winter King (of the Hill)' Oil Paint

‘Sun Down’ Charcoal and Oil Paint Sketch Underfoot across fallow farm fields the soil is foamy and soft under a Winter crust. Our footsteps break and sink; pebbles as water-worn rounded as on a coastal beach reveal themselves ... The colour of the sky tells us that it's time to head back home.

‘A Black Afternoon’ Charcoal & Varnish sketch. 'Over wide open stretches of undulating fields the wind blew furiously, icy cold cutting like a razor. Clustered here and there were oases of timeless pools within black wet forests that fractured the driving force, dissipating it for sweet relief.'
