I’ve been so busy enjoying life, painting, travelling around my lovely island home and sorting out my studio I just haven’t made time to post . Here’s a few pics from my last 3 months… What have you been up to?
I can’t believe it’s been over 4 months since I last posted! What have I been doing with my time you might ask. A big chunk of it was spent travelling to the US and Canada again . Some highlights were: …. getting caught in the big Montana snowstorms which was a bit scary for … More Has it been this long???
All packed up and ready to head off in the morning for a few days at Swansea- a lovely little seaside town on Tasmania’s east coast. I can’t believe how much I’ve packed! Every time I travel I promise myself next time will be different- I’ll only take the essentials, I’ll pack light, every second … More Off to the seaside!
I’ve just been doing my pre flight checklist. The bags have been packed, weighed, repacked and reweighed and are now sitting on the doorstep ready to go.

I ‘m pleased with the distant boat as it gives some perspective and I like the hint of white against all that blue and green. But I’m not sure if … More What tomorrow brought.

There’s a maze of walking tracks amongst the huge boulders and so many wildflowers it’s like a series of rock gardens. There’s the mild scent of curry … More Capo Testa Sardinia- the next painting

The Writer craned his whip lashed neck in all directions looking for whatever it was that had caused this aberration in my … More Steinbock stalking in the Gran Paradiso…
…there’s something a bit daunting about sorting through my memories, masses of photos and all those small sketches I did and trying to distill the essence of the holiday…
