Introduction
Thinking Landscape: a personal viewpoint
Some landscapes can be easily seen: we walk on them, we walk through them, we touch them.
Some landscapes are shrouded in mist and mystery, whilst others lie buried beneath our feet.
Our landscapes are continually being shaped and weathered by the elements, time, and human interference.
There are other sorts of landscape too - those in our minds, where memories and thoughts take form, and then just as quickly fade only to surface again, perhaps slightly changed.
These are all intriguing ideas to explore in paint.
