EDM challenge #70 Draw something you fear and memory book painting
At last, the day came when I felt big enough and brave enough to walk along the highest wall of the pier. It was very windy up there.

My illustrated childhood memoir
About my 'memory paintings'.
Inspired by Neil Curtis in his book, 'The Memory Book', my memory paintings catch impressions and moments from my first ten years, in St Andrews, Scotland in the 60's. They are all 12 x 9 cm, mostly pen and watercolour, on Arches HP. They are now published in an 8" x 10" book through Blurb.

ALISON, IF THOSE ARE YOUR RED BOOTS, YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK. Even looking at your drawing makes me nervous, and I'm not afraid of heights!
You are right about the things we do growing up. Some of the old cliffs and piers we climbed on when I was a kid were just as bad. One had to prove ones self, rights of passage so to speak. The mother in me *GASPS* now, though.
Thanks for the comments on my blog
LOVELY sketch and beautifully portrayed!!!
Very, very nice! I like the way you portrayed the stones. Cool!!
Yep, pun intended. Looks like you had fun, though.
Yeah good for you!! Its been freezing in Sydney - can just imagine Canberra!! Brrrr!!!
Wow! I should have been looking at this blog more often! These memory paintings are fabulous, Alison!
I love these memory paintings! They're well-composed and bright, and the little stories bring them alive. What a wonderful idea.
