Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

72-Woodland walk by Thomas Swan's (Pen)

My challenge for May of doing an outdoor sketch or painting every day has been revised to a more reasonable goal of doing a total of 31 pictures (equal to the days of the month). I am still aiming to get out as much as possible but getting to a location, finding an interesting subject and fitting this around other commitments has proved to be quite difficult.
