A new book emerging


In case anyone’s wondering what I’m up to I thought I’d better publish an update.
After months of hard work with paintings and exhibitions it was time to take a break and do something else. Something I have wanted to do for quite some time.
So I am now sitting on my boat in Greece writing a book. This time the book will printed on real paper and not an ebook.
Actually “writing” is not really a description of the work I’m doing as the book will mostly be comprised of photographs of my artwork. There will be short descriptions of each piece and small anecdotes about the work. The theme of the book is the sea, so as I sit here surrounded and inspired by the sea, the book is gradually taking shape.
Bit by bit, page after page the layout is created on my computer with the over one hundred photographs of watercolours and acrylic paintings. 
I know I can’t keep away from the actual process of painting for very long so I’ll get back to that in due course but until then I spend every day in front of the computer.
Sitting in the shade in the cockpit of my boat, creating the layout for my new book.
