Parallel Lives in Painting (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781789633108)

The world is becoming a busy noisy place and it is good to find a pastime that creates a different space, another dimension. In Parallel Lives in Painting we show how our paintings mean so much to us, they remind us of the lovely places we have visited and enable us to remember them in detail.

It takes time to study the colours and contours of a scene. It may be that the drawing is an inadequate representation of the three dimensional scene spread out before us, how can it be anything else, but the process of trying to represent it on the two dimensions of the blank page is intellectually rewarding. The emerging picture is not just about the scene before you but also about your response to it at the time.
