My thoughts are with friends in Paris and France tonight and my deepest sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of all those who lost their lives on this, another dark day for humanity.

Remembrance Day: 2015
The photographs for the video were taken during our visit to the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in 2012. The poppies for the final frames were filmed in our little patio garden where they swayed in the summer breeze as they must have done on the battlefield so many years ago.
Lest we forget.

Illumination 10.11.15
“Now for something completely different” with this somewhat ornate illuminated initial and a particularly ornate roccoco frame. The initial, which measures 10″x8″, is a copy I made today from an illuminated manuscript that resides in the British Museum, and the frame measuring 45″x39″ – well that resides in the studio and I have yet to find use for it. However, with the magic of Photoshop Elements this seems to work I think, don’t you?

Lascaux I 6.11.15 ongoing
One of the highlights of our recent holiday in the Dordogne in southwestern France was visiting a replica of the cave of Lascaux in the Vézère Valley. The decorations by prehistoric man in the Magdalenian Period over 17000 years ago, with its primitive pictures of oxen, horses, bison and stags and many unknown symbols, are simply breathtaking. The cave was discovered in September 1940 but closed in 1963. An exact replica of one-third of the cave, Lascaux II, was opened 200 metres from the original cave in 1983. It was a memorable day indeed.
