Drawing the coast in winter

In January the light here lasts about six hours, and it never gets high. Everything is lit from the side, which is wonderful for silhouettes: ridges stack up in flat layers, each one a little paler than the next.

That is where the Fjord series started. Small pencil studies on the ferry, later redrawn as simple shapes. We keep the sketchbooks, but the final pieces are deliberately quiet.
