Paintings from my Travels

   Less than an hours drive away from Pendleside are the Yorkshire Dales, a National Park.
   The time portrayed is early morning, What a splendid position this hill farmer has, of
   Dentdale. I've always felt lucky to live in this part of the world







This is a view of Sarlat-la-Caneda, which is a few miles north of the Dordogne, eastern France. We stopped in this beautiful area  camping by the river in the motorhome. The local stone is a lovely Golden colour. This was painted using a palette knife, being itself the subject of one of my films 'Impasto'



I have lost count of how many times we have been to Cornwall, in the south west corner of England. This water colour of the old fishing boat at St. Ives was done in the studio from one of the many sketches I've done over the years










No prizes for this one, Venice. A composite oil done from several photos, taken last year. This was during the same six week tour of Europe in the motorhome
