Private View

Sorry it's been a few days since I've updated this...but I have been a busy little bee, FRANTIC would be a better way of describing it!
  It has finally happened, today saw the launch of my new exhibition and the Private View. The build up has highlighted my lack of organisational skills, and confirmed my need to write copious lists! It certainly has been a learning curve. The afternoon went really well, and I'd like to take this oppurtunity to say thanks to all those who turned up in support. I had some surprise visitors arriving from Bristol, the In-Laws, my family, and friends new and old! It was great to see everybody  but I feel I didn't have much time to get around to chatting with eveyone. Big thanks to Nicky Stevenson for putting up with me in her gallery, and making me believe that my work really is worth people seeing.

  Just remembered, Thanks Guy, your help has been very much appreciated(and not gone unnoted!).

  Cheers Paul for the use of the cameras and the constant 'borrowing'!
All in all it's been a great day, the viewing flew by though. On reflection I really do need to get a trifle more organised...too many things and thoughts for one mushy little brain.

  I've added photos of some of the paintings on display, I'm not happy with having to add the watermark to them, but I have been strongly warned of the dangers of not doing so and the all too common 'right-click theft'!  I will never put an image onto the internet again without a watermark. Hope it doesn't impair your viewing pleasure too much!!!

    All works are for sale, and available in limited edition print.

   Commissions can also be arranged, just get in touch and we can take it from there.

  Right, that's it, I'm off to bed! A very enjoyable yet tiring day...one last thought though, I owe a huge big thankyou to Becky. Without her support and love I can truely say that I wouldn't be here today achieving all these things, thankyou for my 'boys' and thankyou for our friendship x

 Bed now, bye!

Invites have arrived

  It seems to have taken ages to get to this stage, but now I have the Private View Invites in my hand for my exhibition. Time is flying by now and the panic has set in! Still got the prints to sort out, finishing touches to several canvases, more canvases to paint etc. Then I must organise another exhibition soon after this one....not easy being an artist!

New day, new project

  Still need to stop starting new pieces whilst trying to get exhibition pieces together!
Yet again I awoke with the need to start this new beach hut painting...I've put the compressed charcoal lines in to begin with, next step is to start painting. This one measures 82cm x 65cm.

 I'm working on board, which feels really strange after years of canvas! I will aim to add photos as the work progresses....
I love the architectural look of this one, something I think I want to keep as it progresses.

Blast Off !

Hello there, at long last I've finally got round to starting up a blog, and my intention is to keep it updated regularly!!!
Life seems so hectic at the moment, I'm busy preparing for my next exhibition which is on the 27th May. Time is fast running out. And why don't I finish some of my already started canvases before starting any more?! Can't seem to stop...so much to capture.
 This exhibition will be of approx 10 paintings and the title will be 'Returning with the tide'. So if anyone will be in the Brixham, Devon area please pop in and say hi!  I'm also trying to sort out getting some Giclee prints ready for the exhib, but as always it's a question of cost!
 Right, back into the studio to throw a little more paint about.....
