Sailing from the Hamble was wonderful…a westerly force five with beautiful ever-changing views. The 'Blue Lady', a 34' Hallberg Rassey gave us an incredible unique experience.
Mass in medieval Domfront, Lower Normandy on Good Friday and Easter Sunday…then to Chantilly for reasons that cannot be divulged at this early stage.
Rich experiences waiting to be released in paint…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
