| book description |

MY YEAR OF GERIATRIC PAINTING is about the author’s 12 months of painting as a hobby, starting at 85 in 2024 and ending at 86 in 2025, as well as his thoughts and feelings that this generated. But it is even more about old age in general and how it can be one of the greatest periods in a person’s life. The word ‘geriatric’ in the title is used very much tongue-in-cheek. Paul asserts that old age, apart from the inevitable, can be full, eventful, and extremely interesting. And that is true even if you haven’t lived in Mexico since you were 26 years old like he has, and since your 80th birthday written six books like him, and also recently visited several countries, including Britain (Paul’s country of birth and youth), Spain (where he met his wife of 60 years in 1963), and Cuba (twice, first with his 21-year-old grandson and then with his daughter, that grandson’s mother). This book contains both physical and mental adventure within it, as well as amateur art and everyday ‘geriatric’ life.
