Moving towards landscape


A palm tree from a photo of one found in a park in Rome. This has been sold to a friend who now lives in Bangkok. I hope she took the painting with her.











Yes, this is a landscape. Somewhere in there is the outline of a hill one sees, or used to see when driving into Kingston just before the Rio Cobra gorge. My landscapes tend to be composites. Sometimes I am being driven in a car, or am on a train, and I sketch a line as I go by. The lines accumulate; then I create the drawing and form the painting from the pencil sketch. Sometimes these sketches are made up in colour as oil pastels.
