My second used book by Keith Brockie arrived yesterday. Just in time for me to convalesce from some dental work.
This book, One Man's Island, is the original one from 1984,
It is even more beautiful than his first one. He is using colored paper as a ground now, and that enhances whites being applied as well as the darks. Some are in charcoal with white chalk and other in watercolors both transparent and gouache(opaque) They are done from the Isle of Man off Scotland, a really beautiful place. This volume has more plant subjects in it than the first one. I am expecting one more book, from Amazon used. Should be here soon...maybe today?
.
He has a newer book out too called Return to One Man's Island.
The Google link has both on it. The Google link rather changes about 1/2 way down. Brockie's photos are in the very beginning.
