'Cullen Harbour View', watercolour, 54 x 35 cm. On the Moray Firth coast of northern Scotland, Cullen dates back to the time of Robert the Bruce in the middle ages. Here we're looking from the outer wall of the harbour, past the fisherman's cottages (now mostly converted to holiday homes!) and up to the viaduct that used to carry the railway line in happier days, and the castle at top right. This painting was sold but it is part of our print range. See www.robwighamwatercolours.com/findochty-to-cullen.html for details!

The I Ching.. and my first ever attempt of book binding..


(had this book for 45+ years, it has yellowed brittle pages, stains and scribbles. Today i rescued it by making a cover)
Translation/interpretation by Richard Wilhelm. (which is the closest to the true thing)

The I Ching is the oldest of all the classical divination systems. It is also one of the oldest books in the world. Its first interpretive text was composed around 1000 B.C. The I Ching's actual discovery and much of its early history are the stuff of legends.

There are a number of myths surrounding the origins of the eight trigrams and the development of the I Ching divination system. In one tale, Fu Hsi, the first emperor of China (2852–2737 B.C.), is said to have observed a turtle emerging from the Yellow River. Knowing that true wisdom came from the direct and close observation of nature, he had a sudden realization of the significance of eight symbols he saw on the turtle's back. He saw how the sets of three solid or broken lines, the trigrams, reflected the movement of energy in life on Earth.
