Interest from further afield

I always assumed that the main readers of this random collection of thoughts about the passage of my life were fellow students on my course and assorted friends and family.   It seems that I have started making very small strides the world beyond.  Over the pas week I have had comments from Edar Vazquez and an anonymous blog from the Mainstone Press.  May I say hello and welcome and your comments about Eric Ravilious, Paul Nash and my photography.   I wonder how far further this will go?   Only time will tell.  Now if only I could work out how they found my blog in the first place.  Perhaps if they read this they might like to leave a comment to let me know.

Paul Nash

Wood on the Downs
Whilst wandering around the highways and byways of the internet whilst trying to find more on Eric Ravilious I cam across Paul Nash.   Now I was aware, a little, of Nash's work but having looked at his painting again I find myself being drawn to them.  Both Nash and Ravilious were WW2 official artists, what a wonderful idea; commission artists to record their impressions of the conflagration going on all around them.   Anyway, I will continue to research both artists and others that I come across as it is fascinating to look at how other people see the world and no doubt some of this will rub of on my work.
