  • “Make it Happen!” Summer workshops

    I have been involved with a few workshops for children and young people over the summer. They were organised by local art group  http://www.platformartsthelens.co.uk/  as part of the Heart of Glass project http://www.platformartsthelens.co.uk/heart-of-glass.php. These are some photos of a workshop we did based on the silhouettes I use in my paintings.

  • New work on the way!

    Lately I’ve been so busy with other stuff – holidays, selling my house and workshops (photos to come) – that I haven’t done a lot of painting. Here are two small landscape studies that I finished recently just to let you know I’m still alive!
