Caroline Prepares for Summer Exhibition

Have long loved and collected my sister Caroline’s paintings, but two of the latest – painted for an exhibition in Dulwich – simply took my breath away. The first is based on a photograph I took one evening as I worked home from work by Barnes Pond, just after a downpour, but has been elaborated with detailing that appeals to my deep love of the weirder sides of stained glass. The exhibition will be held on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th May, as part of the Dulwich Artists’ Open House Festival.  The address: 4 Beauval Road, Dulwich, SE22 8UQ. More paintings here.  

The final painting, here at least, is based on a photograph I took at Steve and Sandar Warshal’s house a while back – and I love it, too.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
