Drawing A soft pencil drawing of my old cat Tippy Pencil drawing of a freshwater Roach (photo of mislaid original drawing) Computer Drawings I've been using CorelDraw (and Photo-Paint) since version 3 on a 486; the following pictures were done with CorelDraw 8 Four MC Escher inspired tessellated patterns In the 70s I had a couple of MC Escher prints hanging on the wall; they left a lasting impression.

Stone Fish Armed with a hammer and chisel I chipped away at the block of limestone and found this fish hiding inside. The block was then set above a stone arch leading to an ancient stone-built Cretan house; the house is currently for sale: further details The arch viewed from the street showing another fish carving in the upper centre. The metal sunburst gates were made by a local craftsman to my design
