Rehabilitation into Blogland

I'm trying to get back into art and blogging after the most busy time in the last million years.

I'm now a great grandfather: Daisy-Morgan was born last week. But great grandchildren are like London Buses: you wait for ages and then two arrive together ... the next is due next April. So our little clan is now into 4 generations!



The original of Cologne Cathedral is now hanging in Connecticut, US. It was bought by an American dancer/ballerina who was kind enough to photograph it hanging in her collection.

I am massively into research of some very old sailing ships, which I hope to produce as a series (pen & ink).

Missed you all! Will try to visit you ASAP ... make sure the coffee is on!

    Congratulations!! Wow! Welcome back - I've put on the coffee. I've been missing in action since September myself. Staging my comeback too, and hoping I stay this time. Sometimes life makes navigating this virtual nirvana difficult. I need a very old virtual sexton and sailing ship, which I look forward to you producing.
