Welcome to my blog

I am a part-time painter, I try to learn and to enjoy. I live in Switzerland near Geneva overlooking the vineyards with Lac Léman below and Mont Blanc beyond, some 80km away - so there is plenty to paint. In the last few years I have tried a variety of subjects, searching for my theme. I think it is water – ocean waves in particular fascinate me.


This blog is initially organised more a series of themes rather than a periodic painting exhibit but I guess that is what it will eventually become. Please feel free to email me at mike.cockerell@gmail.com.
