About the book
Ken Howard (b. 1932) is one of Britain's best-loved painters. His cityscapes and coastal scenes reveal a deep connection with Venice, London, and Cornwall; his studio interiors are masterly evocations of space and light. In this candid autobiography he reflects on work, travel, love, and loss. Recalling his early days at art school and the achievements and acclaim that followed, and his national service in the Royal Marines and the artistic commissions for the British Army that took him all over the world, Howard evokes the professional and the personal with verve and humor.
