Where it all begins.

I’ve been keeping art journals for about 25 years now, and frequently wander into them to recount old memories, and find inspiration for new work between the pages.
A couple of years ago, such a journal followed me around France for 60 days. The pages filled with observations and inspiration.

France by van

Heroes through the windscreen.

Olivia’s in Paris.

Sleeping rough in the City of Light.

Bordeaux

Storms over Bordeaux

Home in Puy le Eveque

Hot air balloon over Uzes

The fear, Col de Columbiere

The Gorge beyond Chambery

A day of switchbacks and washouts.

Midday – Gitane lunches.

Every evening in the van.

Lycra and the mobile boudoir, Vienne.

What the dog saw. Lyon.

Rail yards, Lyon.

Mont Ventoux.

Standing on a mountain…..Ventoux.

Provence.

Good and bad days in the van.

Puyloubier Stairs.

Vans and aires. Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer

After tea. France by Michelin.

Honey voiced busker, Montpellier

My love affair with the van.

Wet afternoon in Malestroit.

Huelgoat.

What lives in the grotto beyond Huelgoat?

The art of tea.
