Reworking This Blog : Some paintings from this year

 Nearly two years since posting here - oh my! I am found more on my Wordpress site but maybe I should begin again here as a diary.


Mostly I paint and draw now - some stitching, more in the winter so here it comes!

Birds in Windows - part of a series of 12" square oil paintings on canvas board - I'm going to continue on with these in the new lockdown I think.

These will be for sale at £320 each plus postage or will be in an exhibition in Summer 2021 here in the UK

Open Studios Coming Up


Sunday 27 August 2017

Out this morning at Boundary Way Allotments sketching to build references for the art I'm involved in thanks to Moya Lloyd and her wonderful Arts Council funded project in Wolverhampton. Read more about it here: 

Met lots of people there who were curious and I ended up with lots of fabulous fruit and veg to take home.
 Thank you Michael Phillips and his Spanish pal. Also lovely to see Kevin and Jo visiting for the first time.
#livingabundantly #senseofplace17 - not even day 1 of sense of place project but too excited not to post!!
This painting has pen and pastel in it - the pastels nearly melted in the sun though!
