what to look for in winter, spring, summer, autumn

These four books illustrated by C.F.Tunnicliffe beautifully capture the turn of the seasons and I have enjoyed them for many years. In December 2021 I decided I would produce a sepia sketch in response to each page as a starting point to other pictures.

The four books

Ladybird published these books between 1959 and 1961 each book measures 7 x 4.6 and contains 25 pictures opposite a text written by E.L.Grant Watson who describes the contents of the view before you. In addition to the 25 sepias per volume I will also add 10 extra images capturing wildlife and scenes particular to Scotland that has long been my home.
