Rural Portraits

The illustrations:
Keith Brockie's well-known sensitivity for his subjects is at its very best. With great accuracy he paints in different mediums, both full colour and using eye-catching black & white watercolour. These beautiful pictures are quite simply breathtaking.

The narrative:
Polly Pullar's writing is clear, informative, and full of anecdotal humour and deep feeling for the countryside. Her vivid word-images of the sights and sounds of nature perfectly compliment Keith's detailed illustrations.
