WHO AM I ? - MY ACTIVITIES.

When living in Belgium, a busy professional life
left me too little time for artistic activities.
Retiring in Scotland, where I had spent so many
peaceful holidays, I went back to drawing and painting, stimulated by its breathtaking landscapes and generous nature, and tried to express and share with others the beauty of its wild nature and environment.

After 11 years spent in the Highlands, I have
now returned to Belgium... still thinking of wonderful
Scottish landscapes to paint, as they remain in my
memory...

GICLEE PRINTS
 What is it ?
Nothing to do with the traditional commercial lithos, even the so-called
"limited edition". Giclée is from the French word meaning
"to squirt or spray". The Giclée printing method is a high-resolution
inkjet process, the ink being sprayed directly onto the paper.

How ?
The original painting is first digitized (scanned) and then printed
individually, by an inkjet printer, on a high quality "Artist"
rag paper, ("torchon"), the same as the one used to paint the
original itself.
The process is rather slow, making each "print" a unique production,
the closest match to an original watercolour, often it's even
difficult to tell the print from the original work.
