Tony Foster, who for half the year lives quietly in a small town in Cornwall, has a huge reputation in America as a leading watercolourist.  Tony’s epic journeys through swamps, rain-forests, raging rivers, glacial terrains and the Himalayas, have been recalled through his “watercolour diaries”.  His books “Grand Canyon Watercolour diaries”, “Ice and Fire”,  “Watermarks” and “Painting at the Edge of the World” will be available at the show and Tony will be giving a talk on Sunday February 7th on “Painting at the Edge of the World”.  Naturally, Tony Foster will be the premier artist at The Great Atlantic Galleries’ booth at the “Works on paper fair” in London’s Science Museum.
