I am retired apart from managing family investments - mostly equities. I live near Zurich, Switzerland. I keep physically fit by walking and mentally fit with an art hobby and by writing on philosophy, economics and politics as related to cleaning up our polluted planet. My writings are published internationally. As a retired businessman with a passion for drawing, who has lived on four continents, I long ago started to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us - the enormous variety of colours, flora, fauna and topography and the impact that has had on cultures and peoples. Most of us view that beauty without really seeing it and for thousands of years artists have tried to capture it and thus, teach us the art of seeing. My email address is jbhanshaw@gmail. comless
