The Beach! 🌊

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

As a child I lived by the ocean (not as nice as a this one), on the South Coast of England. There wasn’t any mountains, so the beach was my playground.

My Grandmother would swim in the sea everyday, even in the winter! 🥶🥶. I didn’t join her….😂

Stilo, Calabria, Italy

(1) Where am I ?

A 10th Century village I visited in 2019. It has a cathedral and churches, one of which, was first built in the 9th Century. Caves carved into the rock where monks lived. Little alleys, cobbled streets, amazing doors, and the home of the philosopher Tommaso Campanella.

This beautiful town inspired me to paint it.

SOUNDS OF SILENCE

What’s your all-time favorite album?

My all-time favourite album has to be my photo albums. You know the ones 🤔, the book of pages with transparent plastic sleeves that you insert your beautifully captured prints. The images you await, in eager anticipation to be developed and printed.

An album filled with images of loved ones, places visited, those cherished moments and happenings. An album to review and relive those wonderful memories.

The photos themselves adorned with stains, smudges, fingerprints, lip prints etc. where they have been lovingly touched, caressed, kissed throughout their time in the album.

An album you can open, touch, smell, and revisit forever.

I think I’m showing my age here 🤣🤣
