Firstly I must apologize for my sporadic blogging recently. Life has taken quite a turn lately with illness in the family that my work has suffered greatly. However, life goes on so they say and creativity can only be held back for so long. With that in mind I’m working toward several deadlines which I’d like to share.

BLANDFORD ART SOCIETY OPEN EXHIBITION 13th – 18th August

This is always an enjoyable event, held at the Corn Exchange in Blandford, Dorset. Open to members and non members. I shall be entering 4 paintings this year so if you’re in the area come and have a look.

SEA & SKY EXHIBITION AT THE HATCH GALLERY 14th – 20th September

An exhibition of some of my smaller paintings will be held upstairs at the Hatch Gallery, Christchurch. The theme, as the title hints at, will be  seas and skies. These are paintings inspired by the seas and skies observed along the South coast between Dorset and Cornwall. This exhibition will be showcasing some of my smaller more affordable work.

WORKSHOPS, DEMO’S & CLASSES

I’m currently putting together some modules for individuals and groups which will cover a range of subjects such as colour mixing, looking at perspective, painting dramatic skies & using cold wax. These classes will be available from my website from the online shop.
