Slovenia

I'm back to work...painting. My small role in 'Prince Caspian' is over. I did actually paint on location as a way to pass the time between scenes. I began with oil sketches in my notebook. When I ran out of paper I painted on Xerox copy paper given to me by one of the teachers. The young, school age, actors still have school...and how they do it I don't know, impressive really. They learn their lines, work a long day and still do well in study. Good training for any actor, I should think, acting, like any art, is a life long study.

One day I drove to Venice to buy a sketchbook in which I began to paint the hills and valleys around Kobarid. I took the sketchbook to Croatia with the intention of painting the mountains, as I did last year. But on this occasion I became more interested in the water and the way light acts on it.
