A selection of paintings, drawings & jottings
1991 saw a number of paintings produced as Christmas presents. The following year the paintings below emerged picking up on ideas from the earlier group. The series ran out of steam with the painting 'Waterfalls' remaining unfinished. The two pictures at the bottom of the page are from the original group of presents - the others having long since disappeared into cupboards and other places of concealment.

Okay, so I didn't invent the word (it's an animal shelter in northern Italy), but I most definitely like the idea of a pre-industrial counterpart to steampunk
