From photographs by Andrew Denley.

I’m hearing the constant tapping of woodpeckers on every walk just now, so I took the hint and drew one at last.

The varnish is just drying on this one.

I’m enjoying Autumn so intensely this year. More Autumnal drawings to come I think.

This is your subtle Yule/Christmas card update!

These images are available as cards both from me at my open studio, and from: http://lovefromtheartist.com/artists/holt/jacqueline-byrne

At Love From The Artist they’re available as single cards or as great value packs.

Please inquire about the originals.

There are a number of beech trees around the astonishing stone circle and henge at Avebury. Some are used by people to leave offerings or prayers, sometimes in the form of pieces of cloth that cary their messages on the wind.  Somehow the trees at Avebury take on character and gravitas, maybe as a result of the impact of the surroundings on us and our change in perception. I’m sure there will be more tree portraits to come from my trips to Avebury.

Original drawing available at time of writing.
