Pilgrimage: An artist's journey from Mount Athos to Tibet

by Paul Osborne

It was April in 1986.

I was irresistibly drawn to the journey overland to the East, not only to see what was on the other side of the horizon, but to trace a line back to something of our roots, a road of discovery, with an inner sense as much as an outer.

So I found myself on the deck of a boat leaving England, with an easel, a generous supply of paper and my bags full of paints. I spent more than a year travelling across Asia to Lhasa.
These are the paintings I made on that journey.

"Paul Osborne's dedication and talent place him in such company as the celebrated Victorian artist-travellersn William Simpson and Edward Lear. He paints what he sees, but with a sure sense of the spirit of a place, and his images reflects his mounting excitement as one extraordinary visual experience followed another" ~ Paul Hogarth

Found this book, many many many years ago during a book fair. I was captivated by the stunning images that Paul had painted.
