Still Life with Blue Bowl


It has almost been a year since I went to Florence to take part in the summer oil painting courses. It still has to be one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had. A valuable learning curve which I have been dying to put into practice since the end of last year. I have started a new project which I will post on my blog as it progresses.

The above still life is the result of a months hard work, but it has inspired me to keep going with a similar theme. Here's to a creative summer.

Dancers - A fun way of capturing movement


Here is a painting I am particularly excited about. Capturing energy and movement can be tricky, but with the help of a large filbert watercolour brush and a 'no holes barred' attitude, I plunged straight in and the result was a good one. This painting is going to be the start of similiar projects, allowing me to express myself through colour. I've always enjoyed dance and have dabbled in this enjoyable passtime throughout my life. David and Lyn Freedman are now the proud owners of this piece.

For Sale - Please ask for Details

I would like to thank those of you who attended the Tandridge Art Society Exhibition during the Easter break.

I have just learned that my charcoal illustration titled
"The Matriarch" got voted the second best artwork overall.
I have always been proud of this picture and the subject is very close to my heart.

I am hoping to do a few more wildlife projects when I make my next trip back to SA.


This blog has just been started, so I am hoping to update it regularly with all my latest work.
