The Grand Tour

Thirteen of the most beautiful places on Earth by a painter that has been to none of them, each in its own medium: woodblock, ink, watercolour, mosaic, pastel, screenprint, dots, etching, oil, gouache, linocut, stained glass and fresco.

One work at a time, hung large on a lit wall. Scroll, swipe or use the arrow keys to walk on.

A mosaic of Oia on Santorini: white houses and three blue domes stepping down the cliff above the deep blue Aegean, a bell tower, pink bougainvillea, and the volcanic islands across the flooded caldera in the evening light.
An ink-wash painting of the Li River: rounded limestone towers rise in layers through bands of mist, the river winds between them, a fisherman poles a bamboo raft, and bamboo bends over the near bank.
A pointillist painting of the Taj Mahal at dawn, its marble dome and minarets pink against a rose and gold sky, mirrored in the long reflecting pool between rows of dark cypress trees.
A gouache of the Salar de Uyuni after rain: a perfect mirror of blue sky and white clouds meets itself at the horizon, a distant range of mountains floats on the line, and one small figure stands on the water with its reflection.
An etching of Machu Picchu: the stone city and its green terraces on a narrow ridge, the sugarloaf peak of Huayna Picchu rising behind, clouds lying in the valleys, ranges of mountains beyond, and a llama on a terrace in the foreground.
A pastel on dark paper of the northern lights over Reine in the Lofoten Islands: green curtains of aurora swirl over sharp snowy peaks, red fishermen’s cabins stand on stilts at the edge of the fjord, and everything is mirrored in the still water.
A stained glass window of Jökulsárlón: blue and white icebergs float in a dark lagoon under a soft pink midnight sky, the glacier and mountains lie behind, and chunks of ice glitter on a black sand shore in front.
A watercolour of the Grand Canal in Venice at dawn: the great dome of Santa Maria della Salute on the right, palaces on the left, gondolas and striped mooring poles in the foreground, and the canal shining gold.
A fresco of Cappadocia at sunrise: dozens of hot-air balloons in red, yellow and blue rise over a valley of pale fairy chimneys and carved rock dwellings, the sun just up behind the far ridge.
An oil painting of Moraine Lake: a row of jagged snowy peaks in morning light, dark forest at their feet, the lake an intense turquoise mirroring them, and a pile of boulders with a few pines in the foreground.
A screenprint of the Grand Canyon at sunrise: layered red and orange buttes stepping away into blue haze, deep violet shadows in the side canyons, a glint of the Colorado River far below, and a single pine on the rim in the foreground.
A picture in the manner of a Japanese woodblock print: snow-capped Mount Fuji rises over a valley, a red five-storey pagoda stands on the hillside among pink cherry blossoms, and a blossoming branch reaches across the top of the sky.
A linocut of Deadvlei: black, twisted dead camel thorn trees stand on a white clay pan, a towering orange dune behind them is split by a sharp ridge into sun and shadow, and the sky is a deep blue.
