The Four SeasonsThe Four Seasons

Wake little ones heed natures call
Thrust your way up from your winter shawl
Encumbered not by your loamy tomb
Stretch towards the light, yawn into bloom

Sleep washed away as gently kissed
By the shadowy cloak of crisp morning mist
Paint the floor of your realm in vibrant blue
The decaying and dead bring life to you

An army on parade made from infinite legions
Cross borders at will, invade unconquered regions
Your arrival is clear, the message you send
Behold relentless bluebells, winters at an end

Both fragile and hardy begin the race
To lay down roots and stake their place
Diverse verdant hues usher the chang

I HATE YOU :grump:

Sorry, just jealous as hell as it was his work that made me pick up pencils in the first place. I'll have to check his page and see if he has any exhibits next year that I can get to.

Thank you for your kind words but obviously my version is a poor imitation.:icongwompplz:

I saw the exhibition at a place called 'Nature in Art' just outside Gloucester - I think they might have a couple of originals in their collection - not sure though :) It's a great place to visit anyway if you like wildlife art :D

I interviewed Mr Hodges for my art course at school last year. He's a very cool guy, an amazing artist and very easy to speak to. You've done a really good job here! I reckon he would be proud.

That must have been fantastic, judging by his site and other things I've read on him I got the impression he was friendly and down to earth.

I think this was about the 3rd or 4th thing I attempted to draw when I started last year so was a real challenge and falls well short of his fantastic pencil skills.

Thank you kindly for your comment.
