Peter Brown; plein air; really good; nice bloke. Prolific, too - I've still got three unread catalogues on my shelf and haven't checked his website for new ones for months. Here I found the Brit paintings better than the France paintings, generally speaking. No idea why.
What more can I say about Peter Brown? I love his work and this catalogue has many delightful paintings reproduced in it. Brown's interest in reflections in rain soaked flagstones is strongly represented. There's only one snow painting - must have been a mild winter.
I got this book 2 months early, with my name in the Acknowledgements and for cheap, because I supported it on Kickstarter - the only crowdfunding project I've ever been involved in. This is because I love Bath and I love Peter Brown's paintings. I've met him a couple of times, seen him several more....
The Wild Robot is a Middle Grade sci-fi/survival/talking animal book. I had seen it before and considered getting it, but I have too many books as it is. When I saw that my local public library had added it to their Overdrive audiobook collection, I pounced on it. I believe my checkout included acce...

It's rare for me to say this about a kids book, because I'm generally much easier to please with them but... I just did not particularly like this book. Full review up later.
We are geese, And geese keep going. We're a strange family. But I kind of like it that way. Ahh, this book. I didn't think I was going to like this one. I read it because it's a Sunshine State nominated book for the 2017-18 school year, and it fit the talking animals BLopoly space that I landed...
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown has both fascinated me and frightened me for at least 2 months now. I kept seeing the cover when I was shelving or visiting other branches and the image of the single robot standing on top of a pile of rocks kept leaping out at me. I finally gave up the fight when I dec...
So, Pete "the Street" Brown's latest exhibition is on at The Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, and of course, I picked up this catalogue afterwards, (along with the previously reviewed, older book of London paintings). It's good to see Pete still painting Bath and making it fresh by diversifying into ...
