Hidden Byeways.
Like many of its neighbours, the mountain village of Castaras, La Alpujarra, is a warren of narrow whitewashed streets and alleyways. Sitting on the step is my wife, Belinda.

Hello out there!
I started painting in 2005 after moving from England to Spain with Belinda. After wasting vast quantities of watercolours, acrylics and oils, I eventually discovered soft pastels. Deep Joy!
Most of my work is taken from the landscape, villages and people of the Alpujarra - a remote and stunningly beautiful region of Andalucia, Spain. We lived for 8 years in Yegen, a small mountain village set on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
My friend here is Chico...a Supermule.
Since returning to the UK, I'm now on the look-out for the startling and unusual in our own landscape.
Keep painting and bring a little more beauty into this frantic world. God bless all.

I normally have an idea of what i may lean towards
with my abstracts yet its a journey on canvas for me.

Would that be El Golco, just below Mecina Bombaron? If so, Yegen (where I live) is the next village to the east, five minutes away.
