Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

84,85- Water Colour Sketches


Working with water-colours is pretty much a new experience for me, especially in trying to portray landscapes and foliage. Hopefully I will improve with practice! The top picture was painted from memory whilst the above was painted from a photograph, both were sketched previously. (77 & 72)
