Barry talks about the importance of image in creating our sense of things. In her unique style she entertains and teaches simultaneously. This is well worth spending an hour to watch and listen. And laugh.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOs5sws0MEs<br />Jean At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288183476087156126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-66975109125495524712013-02-10T14:55:27.042-05:002013-02-10T14:55:27.042-05:00Yes, thanks, Armand.

Curtis and Chamberlain are inspiring examples of the benefit of alternating between oil and watercolor. <br /><br />Chris, I passed through your town in 1985 on a bus trip from Caernarfon to Cardiff, but unfortunately only got to see it out the window. Lovely spot, hope to visit again sometime with a sketchbook!James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-58819591238886198992013-02-10T14:44:43.219-05:002013-02-10T14:44:43.219-05:00On a side note, I just wanted to say like James G...On a side note, I just wanted to say like James Gurney, Trevor Chamberlain is just as an accomplished oil painter as he is a watercolor painter. armandcabrerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772142818316748471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-26695071706367853512013-02-10T11:50:47.539-05:002013-02-10T11:50:47.539-05:00 love these travel posters. I live in Aberystwyth ... love these travel posters. I live in Aberystwyth and teach illustration at the university there. We have these posters up in the train station as well as the local museum.
