A New Venture!
Hi Everybody
Happy New Year to you all!
To start this year I have decided to try out a new idea based on my paintings.
It began when I created to blog dedicated to my mother in law, Sadie back in 2013. That blog was about the Antrim Coast Road in Northern Ireland and it struck me that I might be able to produce a few Travel Guides of various places we know quite well, illustrated with my watercolours. I always photograph my work so they all reside in my Mac.
Apple have produced a great App for Macs that is called iAuthor which allows you to produce books for publishing on the iBook store (for Apple users on iPads and computers etc) or as a pdf that is viewable by all.
The first of these book which is titled Travels with a Brush, Volume 1 – The Cote d’Azur is now available on the ibook store ( search for Cote d’Azur) but is also attached here as a pdf file for anyone to download. (Click on the link at the top of this post).
The books are free, I didn’t think anyone would be inclined to pay for my ramblings but nevertheless I hope you might find the books interesting. The second one, on Ulster in Ireland will be published in month or so.
I will be back to more normal painting posts soon but in the meantime any feedback is always welcome
Happy travelling
Brian

I’ve been a fan of your paintings for some time now but I absolutely love this idea. I just downloaded the pdf and it’s wonderful. I’m also interested in what you’ve done on the Antrim Coast, which I consider one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been – I will spend some more time here and see what you’ve done. Nice work!
Thanks Paige I will post the Ulster book soon too I agree a really beautiful part of the world Regards Brian
