The winter counterpart to the 'Freewheelers' are the 'Tobogganeers' - a little bit French, eh?   They too are free spirited and ambitious.  The 'Tobogganeers' don't believe in travelling light and tow everything they need - friends, food, igloos and beer. 


These 5x7 paintings are started with a very old fashioned tool called a dip or nib pen.  Used with India ink, I get a very dark black varying line width which I think makes things more interesting.  But it does create a degree of technical failure.  Like blotting or splattering.  Really annoying when it happens on one of the last strokes to a painting which means it is put in the rejects pile and I start again.


So each piece is truly an original.  Right down to the personality delivered by that pen.
