Landscapes by Chris Thomas
Recently Chris’ interest in landscape painting has been rekindled. For many years he’s been a keen walker and trekker and has made many treks in the Nepal Himalaya and also walks along Britain’s long distance foot paths.
He’s always taken photographs of the views from the trails but recently he’s been using drawing books to record his experiences.
