Walking With Triceratops
Walking With Triceratops
A favourite pencil, pen and ink drawing of Nick, walking his dog and Matthew, walking his Triceratops. 19cm x 14cm (image size). 31cm x 26cm (framed size).
The dinosaur belongs to a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur that first appeared during the late Maastrichtian stage of the late Cretaceous period, about 68 million years ago (mya) in what is now North America. It is one of the last known non- avian dinosaur genera, and became extinct in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction.
The dinosaur’s name, which literally means “three-horned face”, is derived from the Greek τρί- (tri-) meaning “three”, κέρας (kéras) meaning “horn”, and ὤψ (ops) meaning “face”. It has been documented by numerous remains collected since the genus was first described in 1889, including at least one complete individual skeleton. Paleontologist John Scannella observed: “It is hard to walk out into the Hell Creek Formation and not stumble upon a Triceratops weathering out of a hillside.” Forty-seven complete or partial skulls were discovered in just that area from 2000 to 2010. Specimens representing life stages from hatchling to adult have been found. As the archetypal ceratopsid, Triceratops is one of the most popular dinosaurs, and has been featured in film, postal stamps, and many other types of media.
Prancing Pony
Prancing Pony
Prancing Pony is an A4 (21 x 30cm) , framed (25 x 35cm), ink line drawing of an Arab dressage pony. The simple line gives a sense of elegance and movement whilst keeping the drawing clean and tidy. I was inspired, like so many, by the grace of Arabian stallions when they compete in dressage events and I also have a colleague who competes in the events so it reminds me of him and his wife.

How Many Cats?
How Many Cats?
This ink drawing is a simple A4 line, from 2014, that begs the question ‘How many cats do you see on the page?’. I can see at least three but who am I to tell. *big smile*
