I mentioned last week that I had been working on a painting that I was really pleased with but hadn’t yet received permission to share it! I was delighted then to receive confirmation from one of the top restaurants in Uruguay, La Huella Parador, that I had their approval and permission to share this painting, …
A bit of an odd one this week. I have been painting and I have even produced a painting that I’m really pleased with, but unfortunately I can’t share it. Well, at least not yet I can’t! The painting is based very literally on a photograph that I found on Instagram that is owned by …
I was thrilled to sell this sketchbook study, The baker recently. It was in one of the many sketchbooks that I had with me during the recent Sussex Watercolour Society exhibition at the Linklater Pavilion in Lewes. I started to have my sketchbooks available for people to browse through when I exhibited back in May …
Last weekend’s Sussex Watercolour Society exhibition was a great success and I had a great time! Here’s me in front of my display on the evening of the private view (during which I completely failed to take any photos!) On the Sunday, I spent a lovely day painting and chatting to visitors. I did, however, …

On the one hand, I was quite disappointed in myself for breaking what I think was about a seven year run of weekly Wednesday posts, come rain …
My next exhibition is only three or so weeks ago and the realisation suddenly hit me that I’m not sure I’ve got enough work to muster an appearance! I’ll be exhibiting again with the Sussex Watercolour Society at the Linklater Pavilion in Lewes, East Sussex from Friday 6th to Sunday 8th September. Since my last …
I must first start with an apology! For the past seven or eight years or so I’ve posted every Wednesday of every week, pretty much without fail or exception! Today, however, is a Thursday and to compound my embarrassment even further, it took my daughter to point it out to me that I’d totally got …
We’re just back from Barcelona and, as much as we have a wonderful city and home to return too… I’m still in denial that we’ve had to leave wonderful Barcelona. It hit 37 degrees in Barcelona on the day we left, and we arrived home to the hottest day of the year in the UK …
Oh the difference a week can make! This time last week, I was scrabbling around in the dark on Brighton beach desperately, and unsuccessfully, looking for my glasses that I’d lost whilst out walking the dog! To finish that particular episode off, I returned to the beach again at about 7am the next morning to …
