Holiday blues
I’m sure many of you will identify with the title of this post! Barcelona Barcelona didn’t disappoint and although we only left recently, we’re already hankering for another visit! I won’t bore you with details of the trip as there were just too many highlights (even if most of them related to food rather than …
A merry watercolour Christmas
Starling Studios finale The pop-up gallery at Starling Studios closed on Sunday, although a number of my paintings will remain on display in the window until the 2nd January 2022. It was sad in some ways to have to pack the show up but it was nice to do so in the knowledge that it …
A great week at Starling Studios
Wow, what an amazing week it’s been since my last post! This time last week I was staring at the bare interior of the Starling Studios wondering what on earth I’d let myself in for! One week on, we have a bona-fide little retail outlet on the go and, to top it all, I’ve even …
A good start at Starling Studios
Well it’s been just over a week or so since my window display went up at Starling Studios, and I’m delighted to report that I’ve already made one sale: Over the years, I’ve become quite adept at ‘letting go’ of a painting – there are, however, some paintings that I still find it difficult to …

Now I don’t mind confessing that even I was taken aback when I saw this photo and have subsequently had an urgent haircut and …
Exciting exhibition news!

This is of course tremendously exciting news for me but it has meant that I’ve had a lot of catching …
Weekend 2 of the Artists Open Houses
After last week’s somewhat rampant start to the Artists Open Houses (in terms of sales that is!) – the 2nd weekend has been much more sedate. A lot more visitors, matched ironically by far fewer sales. Never the less, having started off last week by displaying the paintings that I’ve sold I feel somehow beholden to …
Artists Open Houses exhibition
Well it’s been a frantic week since my last post but, I’m delighted to report, also an enjoyable and, dare I say, a successful one! The Park Gate Collective had a small and informal private view on Friday evening, to which I didn’t actually invite anyone! Here’s a picture of the calm before the (relative) storm …
Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour exhibition 2018
And so to London for the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour Exhibition at the Mall Galleries. It was the opening weekend and, by the time I got there, already thronging with visitors. My visit also coincided with a demonstration by David Poxon RI and it was a real treat to punctuate my viewing of …
