A rewarding – October
A rather late entry on the blog this month as October was hectic to say the least! Although our 'Points of View' exhibition at the Espacio Gallery wasn't until the third week of the month, it was a lot of preparation and framing to get the work ready on time. Having...
St Ives inspiration & further thoughts about painting
September seemed to be dominated by preparations for the ‘Points of View’ show later in October, and although there was the promise of a holiday break in St Ives during the second week, it was a matter of starting to do a lot of the tasks needed to bring the show in...
Tuscany realised
Life seems to be getting busier and although it is still wrapped up in art activities I fear painting is falling behind and I am spending more time on the computer trying to solve problems that relate to my art practice. Social media is a great thing but it certainly...

The event of this year will be a gallery show at the Espacio Gallery with four other artist friends from 23 October to the 28th with the private view on the 23rd from 6 -9pm to which you are all invited! My hopes over Christmas was for one or both of my paintings to...
End of Year Review
The year is closing and I am sorry for not posting anything in November, but somehow that month went by with very little time for writing down what I was doing or thinking about. One very important announcement that formulated during November and has been confirmed...
Some surprises, and some successes
September was a busy month on the art scene. Open studios meant it was time to put some artwork that had been languishing without mounts or frames into something that visitors could see effectively and perhaps even purchase, so out came the mount cutter and several...
