West Dean - Monoprint.

Gathering my materials together to tutor one of my favourite processes - the ever surprising and rewarding Monoprint. It is with a mix of anticipation and apprehension that I approach the four days at lovely West Dean. Skill and luck.

Kent Painters Group - Sevenoaks

The Kent Painters Group 

The Annual Exhibition will be at Sevenoaks School opening on Friday evening of the 30th October and running for the full weekend. A huge variety of works will be hanging and the commission on sales is in aid of four local charities. Lots of hard work by the organising team.

It is a privilege to show again with the group as I have done for twenty years. 

This will be one of my paintings showing. It's called 'Early Summer' and I worked it this year when Mattie had seven lovely puppies.  When I had a moment not feeding her, or them, or clearing up or trying to find them in the garden... I painted.

Open Studio Time - again...

So it is time to clear spaces and hang some images for people to enjoy...

I will be working in the studio for the duration and hope visitors may get an insight into some of the processes involved and join in with some drawing or painting if they wish.

These are some snapshots of images that may be on show.

RSW - Two works Accepted.

A great reason for trip to Edinburgh. 
Catherine and Jenny Ross - clever young talented artists arranged to drive works down for submission, which is always the most important, but hardest hurdle.  To make that effort with the possibility of rejection. Donnie (uncle Donnie to aforementioned girls) also sent work down and has also been successful. It was at this show lat year that he sold a small work for £2000 - what a boost.

So we will go to the opening and have the pleasure of prides warm glow.
