Barefoot Dominic suggested
that I do a book.
‘Travels With a Paintbox’
is the fruit of twenty years
of visiting Sri Lanka, and
comprises
two
hundred
paintings and drawings, from
holy sites to humble dwellings,
from tea estates to local life.
The pages are further
adorned with my sometimes
quirky notes and reminiscences
and the book is completed
with a text giving the historical
background to each section by
Dr P.K. Paranavitana, a noted
local authority, and a gazetteer
with commentaries on the
main buildings.
So, not only a picture
book to delight art lovers, but
hopefully an informative travel
guide and souvenir for visitors
to this jewel in the Indian
Ocean.
Further information about
the book can be found on the
