Sketches

Drawn in the Byzantine Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta on the island of Torcello.

The view from the cafe in Tate Modern, looking across the Thames to St Paul's Cathedral.

Looking west across Brighton beach from the pier.

Looking across Falmouth from a pub at the top of the high street.

For six months in 2002 I taught English in Caltagirone, a hilltop town in eastern Sicily. These are some gouache studies and sketches that show some scenes in the old town.

After my graduation I went to teach English in state schools in Japan. I lived on an island off the coast of Kyushu and the following are some of the sketches and gouache studies I made there.
