Switzerland and Austria photobook
This is my latest photobook. The software seems to have changed and one can no longer just click on the book cover too go straight to the whole book at Blurb. But I have discovered that you can do so by clicking on the cover and clicking the link in the small print. Look at the book in full screen mode.

Scandinavian Journeys - another photo book
This is my latest photo book that I prepared before my recent holiday and have just uploaded to Blurb. My printed version will arrive in 2 weeks. The PDF is available already. I hope you enjoy looking at my book as I don't expect anyone to actually buy a copy of my memories!
Scandinavia is my favourite region in Europe and Norway my favourite country. In 1968 I bought a little Fiat 850 car with my friend Janice who I had met on the overland trip from India. We spent over 4 months camping and Youth Hostelling in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. We loved crossing so many fjords on punts and ferries and visiting glaciers in the mountains. We picked apples in Sweden so we could afford some time in Germany. It paid more than teaching in England! I returned for a shorter trip in 1974 with another friend, Val. In 1995 I briefly visited Finland again before going to the Baltic countries.

More pastels
I continue to beaver away at pastel paintings on Wednesdays at Strathnairn with other artists - I use my own photos as references and use different surfaces - some textured and some not giving a variety of results. I'm not sure what I like best.
The first two here are from Kashmir which I visited in 1989. The photos appear in my photo book.
This painting was done on very light pastel paper to suit the ice and snow photo taken in Iceland a few years ago. It's almost monochromatic.
I've done back to my favourite area of Ethiopia to show this volcanic peak in the countryside.

Last pastel paintings for the year!
My art group has finished for the year and Christmas events and gardening now summer is here are overtaking my painting. These are the last two I have done - very different in style. The Ethiopian scene was inspired by a photograph of mine from my trip there last year. The other was an attempt to use bright colours which I love.... but the subject is too cliched. I will need more practice and different subjects to work on.
