Gwarra cove.

 People are always asking me, what is the biggest painting I have ever created. Well this is it. Painted from reference photos several years ago, this is Gwarra cove in Cornwall. Now owned by a family member, and I love to admire it whenever I visit. 

Bath society of artists

I was so pleased to have 2 paintings accepted at the Bath society of artists annual open exhibition. which ran from October to 10th January at the Victoria art gallery in Bath. 

It was such a lovely exhibition. 

 

I was even more pleased when I found out that I had sold my painting SUNLIT FERNS.

  

 

On the easel.

 I often get asked what am I working on. 

Just lately, with the art trail, and summer exhibitions around its been a bit busy.  So I lost a bit of my creative mojo I think.               I am pleased to say that I am starting to find it again. This one is only 12" square. 

This is BINDWEED AND BUTTERFLIES 

Bruton art exhibition

 Coming up next is handing in day this Saturday, for the Bruton art society annual open exhibition. 

These 3 paintings have made it through the selection process. I love the preview evening when we artists go and locate them on the screens, also getting to mingle with all the other artists.  

You can find all the details of the exhibition below.   

Prize winner!

 Very pleased to say that my painting "autumn Carnival " was awarded 2nd prize by the judges of the Sherborne open. The exhibition has closed now, but I also had a pleasant surprise to find that "Tyneham Blackberries" had sold at the same exhibition.

Blackmore Vale Art Trail

Update and images from the Blackmore Vale art trail, north Dorset.

This was a very successful exhibition, and well attended. I met so many lovely new people and of course I am always pleased to see regular faces who come and support me. 

The venue was beautiful and I must thank Karren Burkett for inviting me into her home and make it all possible, the view of the vale was a great talking point, and I didn't want to leave!

hedgerow heaven looking good.

Thanks again to Karren Burkett and Andrea Jenkins for organising this event.
