One for the 'oilies'




Among my other travels I joined a two day relief printmaking course with Peter Ursem. He was using lino, oil based ink and a nipping press. Sadly I was badly lacking sleep, being somewhat jet lagged, but as always I learnt as much from watching him work as well as his helpful guidance. To find out more of his work see http://www.counterparts.org.uk/ He told a story which involved looking inside the Wizard's hat if you dared! Thus my image of said wizard.

Islamic Spain












Have been travelling around Andalucia: Jaen, Cordoba, Seville, Granada. Wonderful trip and weather. Thought you might like to share a few images.
Will get back to the studio soon I hope.
