I love these landscapes by Ian, for the same reasons that I love British winters and Brutalist architecture.

‘Sun Down’
Charcoal and Oil Paint Sketch

Underfoot across fallow farm fields the soil is foamy and soft under a Winter crust. Our footsteps break and sink; pebbles as water-worn rounded as on a coastal beach reveal themselves ...
The colour of the sky tells us that it's time to head back home.

‘A Black Afternoon’
Charcoal & Varnish sketch.

'Over wide open stretches of undulating fields the wind blew furiously, icy cold cutting like a razor. Clustered here and there were oases of timeless pools within black wet forests that fractured the driving force, dissipating it for sweet relief.'
