    My 'Happy Place'

    My 'Happy Place'

    Laughingbird Caye is a particularly 'powerful place ' for me. It is my 'Happy Place' where I escape to in my mind on cold and rainy British winter days. It is 17 miles off the Belize coast from Placencia ( patience in Spanish) so you need a powerful boat to get there. The snorkeling is fantastic with some beautiful tropical sealife to experience but you have to watch out for the fire coral. I particularly remember the barracuda and the curious huge groupers that would come up and ' kiss' you on the face mask. I took the public bus down to Placencia which took for ever then and the roads were terrible but I could not face the bus back. There was a local airport with small plane flights back to Belize city. It is the only time I have boked a flight without asking the cost ! I imagine that the road has been improved now sadly.

    Powerful places

    Powerful places

    I am having a great time at the moment exploring in my mind ( and photo archive ) and transferring into paintings memories from my fairly extensive travels as a younger man... BC.. before children! I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively and have an almost endless stock of vivid memories of some powerful places to draw on.

    Green Haze

    Green Haze

    I was very pleased to have sold my Painting 'Green Haze' to a buyer in London. This was the last of a series of five paintings that I had painted in turn as a gift for my Sister for her newly decorated Kitchen..... However she rejected them all in turn.... but I am pleased that all have now sold! I am still searching for that abstract perfection that she is seeking. However I must say that it has spurred me on and I think a more satisfying style is finally emerging!

    Tangs

    Tangs

    I was very pleased to have sent my large 102cm x102cm painting 'Tangs' off to a buyer in California. It took some wrapping up! It was too large to use my usual courier so I was nervous about delivery time, however I was impressed with how quickly it arrived at its destination within 9 days with Transglobal Express.
