Painting Holidays in Chateaux in South West France & Provence 2021‘La Fontaine Guilliérè’
Carrying on with my review of rocks, cliffs & prehistory. Sorry it’s retrospective, but part of how I use this blog is to unfuddle my thinking. Here’s some paintings that I’ve never digitally recorded. Only got a few pre-digital camera badly exposed silver halide photos as records.

By 2000, I’d figured out that you need to use smooth hot-pressed paper for pen & ink with a well-type nib. That’s if you want to dance, rather than make spider-webs.
It’s interesting to see some of your older work – how you got ‘here’ from ‘there’. The semi-abstract, textural look of these, and your two previous posts are very compelling. I share your ‘fuddled thinking’ syndrome!
