Black water
I take these Mole skin sketch books with me every where I go and paint. They have become a signature of my work, working as they do to provide background information of the stuff I get excited about and items in their own right.
They are folded in the Japanese manner giving both single spreads and the full concertina when opened out. This one provided the perfect format to capture the continuous horizon as I walked round the island.
Now as I sit in the studio planing a return visit to paint in the air I try to reinterpret the drawings into larger works. More of those later.

I think you should scan them in, and print them out bl**dy huge.
They'd look spectacular in a gallery space.
There are now 15 of these Mole books and I propose showing them complete one day. Once Ive got past the problem of how to exhibit them. Buit they are being interpreted into much larger works in the studio. I take your point though that they have a beauty and power the way they are.
