Friend persuaded me to submit at least one image to the Society of Scottish Artists forthcoming exhibition. So I emailed the digital print of "The Journey". Busy drumming up publicity for forthcoming book launch though I learnt today that there […]
Today Sandra is coming up to Llanarmon and we are going out, sketchbooks and cameras in hand to walk, stop, look, snap, sketch and move on. Later after lunch at the Hand, John will interview both Sandra and myself for […]
