A fleeting glimpse of Salisbury Cathedral spire from the surrounding landscape is often the first sign that you are getting close to the city.
‘S P i R E’ is a collection of mixed media plein- air drawings made over a year and a half, between January 2022 and September 2023, documenting those ‘first glimpses’ of Salisbury Cathedral spire from as far as possible beyond the city.
All the drawings, along with illustrations of work in progress, as well as accompanying narratives have now been published as a book.
The ‘SPiRE’ book is A4, softback, 80 pages, signed, with 34 main illustrations, lots of smaller detail drawings and photos of work in progress. ISBN: 978-1-3999-8843-8
