Falkland Islands

In 1992 John led an Island Holidays group on a drawing tour of the Falkland Islands. He wrote about his impressions of the islands and their wildlife in his book Land Marks and Sea Wings.

Here are some of the drawings and paintings from that trip. Pictures with a <buy now> link are available from our online shop. The others are also for sale but may take longer to send to you. Please contact us about them.
