THE OLD BURROW: Catkin ( Cathy van Hoppe ) Ancient woodlands, deep gloomy valleys and the soft murmur of rippling streams hold an enchantment all their own. These are the places where Myth and Legend still hold sway; the clock forgets to measure time and the soul is set free. Delicate drawings and watercolours explore this faery tale realm, this in-between world inhabited by the strange and peculiar. In each picture there is a tale for the telling. Both curious and intriguing, they are invitations to delve into the imagination. “Creating pictures for me is much the same as gradually opening the shutters, or drawing the curtains to peer through an open window into the realm of Untold Stories. Staring into blank paper, images begin to appear in the whiteness. Then gently, softly, pencil and paint explore the landscape and embrace it’s creatures and it’s people. For a brief moment I am honoured to be present in a land both familiar and fantastic.”
