1994: London ‘L’Escargot’ Watercolours

 

This series is still available each 24" x 18" watercolour and gouache on heavyweight Bockingford paper. It is a set of 12 works in a custom made wooden box.(see below)

1993 August I move to London and get various temporary library posts. In time off I prepare these watercolours for a possible show with my friend Javaid Alvi at ‘L’Escargot’ Restaurant on Dean Street. Something goes wrong. The show does not happen. The watercolours go into a folder until now. I move to Edinburgh in August 1994. I do not pick up a paintbrush again until August 2003……ten years later! Things happened……oh yes things happened….
