Self Portrait, oil on canvas, 76 x 76 cm Stage 4.
Sun shining brightly for the last couple of days here in Cornwall,
while a wonderful wind blows away the poly-tunnels.

BOOKS I HAVE LOVED
- Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday, John Steinbeck, sentimentality at its very best.
- Moby Dick, Herman Melville, a deep book of the deep.
- The Hunting of the Snark (An Agony in 8 Fits), Lewis Carroll (no comment...)
- Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K. Jerome. Laugh outloud!
- The Third Policeman by Flan O’Brian. Surreal, funny, puzzling, and a great introduction to this Brilliant Irishman.
- The Essays of Michel de Montaigne. A delight to read and a constant help in troubled times.
- The Confessions of Felix Krull, Confidence Man, by Thomas Mann. Mann’s only humorous book as far as I know. Not an “easy read” but well worth it.
- The Siege Of Krishnapur and Troubles, both by J G Farrell. Both books are inspired, funny, and tragic.
- "A Fine Balance" by Rohinton Mistry. One of my “best books ever!” Poverty, wit, pathos, humour and friendship set in India.
- "Drawing" by Phillip Rawson. The best book about the art of drawing ever written.

In the pink eh? Like Cornwall, the weather's doing alternate days of sun and then serious winds here in Brittany. Today is the latter and it's hard to open the side gate to go up and do the animals. Roll on Spring!
