21 years ago today, Jean Michel Jarre released Waiting for Cousteau. Today (11th June 2011) also marks the end of the Cousteau Centenary - the "Fin de Siecle", I suppose.

This series of paintings that I've created has been inspired by listening to Waiting for Cousteau.

Some notes:
For Calypso, I wanted to do something colourful - I apologise for the subject matter, but it is of special significance for me.
The piece representing Waiting for Cousteau is actually my biggest painting to date :)
"Cousteau on the Beach" is from watching a Cousteau documentary about Clipperton Island.
"The Last Refuge" is really an unfinished sketch!

Mainly acrylics on canvas, but oil pastels and pastels also used.
