It is his distinctive mark as a writer that he writes as he paints from life, capturing the likeness of a particular place in time, remaining faithful to the moment when he sees something striking or strange. And just as his paintings and drawings are small, limited by what he can carry with him on his travels, so in his writing he is a miniaturist working on a large scale: the tone of his writing matches the style of his brushwork. Free-flowing yet nuanced, it evokes the places he visits and the people and objects he encounters, friends and strangers, the homeless and the famous; farms, beaches, cottages, building sites, even typewriters and eggs and telegraph poles—each has its story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis richly illustrated collection of Tom Carment's essays about people and landscapes has been thirty years in the making.
