About half a km from the main camp site there was a local dumping area for bits of concrete and metal including about 5 old cars which have been a good source to paint from.
Reading the information board I can’t believe they spent 100,000 Pounds restoring the chalk tower in 1996 and it still looks like its about to fall down.
The blitz truck was just outside the Old Laura homestead, Lakefield northern Queensland when I went for my road trip to the Tip of Australia back in 2019.
If you ever visit London I would recommend doing the studio tour. It was just unreal to be walking among all the props and giant sets.
The kookaburra snapped its beak at the swooping noisy minors and I managed to capture the moment.

If you look closely you can see my mother putting on her rain jacket just in front of the windows and my backpack propped up against the wall.
I just love this maker because its and older one and very weathered with bits missing and I feel has more character to it.
The Alto de Perdón (Hill of Forgiveness) is an iconic Camino location, and a tough climb just past Pamplona. A very moving sculpture showing the pilgrims through the ages after a long hike.
I always like painting from my trips overseas especially when they are from my childhood.
Me and my photography getting me into trouble again, I’m sure time works differently once you get your camera out.
The 1/2 size Cobb & Co Coach at Miles Historical Village and Museum is a beautiful little replica of a coach and was a pleasure to sketch.
Two of theses lighthouses were in Australia the other one was from my previous trip to the UK.
Walking along another dry track I came across a Heritage Hut, which is a replica of an early pioneer dwelling and this is my subject for a sketch a few years later.
