Although Trevor Waugh's evocative watercolours are well known in the Middle East, this is his first book on the region. His comprehensive journals take the reader on a unique journey through the UAE - an odyssey that is as exciting as it is enchanting. A brilliant work from a talented and perceptive artist. The watercolours in this volume are an expression of the author's affection and fascination for the Middle East, painted on a regular basis. The watercolours are woven together with a brief narrative that brings the context in which they were painted or photographed to the reader. They are unashamedly romantic and the antithesis of the turmoil in the region.
