I have been rather concentrating on writing rather than painting lately but must really shake my brushes out again once the weather settles down a bit. I managed a couple of paintings for my club's current exhibition but difficult to settle when it is too hot or too cold in my studio. (Must be getting old!)
Here is one I did earlier.The iconic shrine in the waters of Japan.

This is a picture book for reluctant readers.

I have just received copies of this book ready for sale at my local Methodist Church fair on Saturday. You may recall the story of the Tamworth Two, in 1998. They escaped from the abatoir and hit the world press as they remained free for a week much to everyone's amusement. They finally found a safe home in an animal sanctuary.
I wrote this story for children way back then and my clever friend Linda turned my amateur original into a real book.

THE SHACK

An encounter with God
An examination of humanity
A story of redemption
Real food for thought.
