The melody brought out a flowing movement in my brush strokes and the glass eels themselves were now moving purposefully across the page

This time I will be talking about my series of illustrations inspired by the European Eel. This part of my four part newsletter is about how inspiration can unexpectedly strike and how it can often be a drip feed rather than a flood. It is about following up on those little things that you find curious in life because you never know where a walk might take you.

Some of my illustrations start with a story, some start with a walk. Some start with both and some start with music.
