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.

You CRACK ME UP!!! I love this, GAWD! I remember this!!! Thank God I have grown up!
How very annoying! But you have captured the feeling and the memory so very well.
I love your work on both blogs and especially enjoy your memory paintings and your words about them. You've inspired me. Thank you.
I am so enchanted with your memory paintings! What a story they tell! I could never in a million years do what you're doing but I wish I could. Have you thought of publishing all of them as a little book?
This is great - reminds me of the truly horrendous toilets we had at school in Fiji
OMG hilarious!!!!
Im loving the colours u use - my touch is so light - wish i could just darken everything and create a mood. these are great!!!
Ohhhh, I Knooooww!!! (in the voice of Sybil from Fawlty Towers).
Oh my gosh! Some little girl looked over the stall when I was little and for years even as an adult I would look up, when going potty. ..Just to check.
