If you sign up to my blog, you’ll get an email when I post a new blog article and you’ll also be the first to know about new works of mine, new tuition and workshop events and much more. My blog posts are below.
Hello, and I hope this finds you well. Delayed to the point of almost never happening, I’m glad to have at last compiled a new blog post. Lots of painting trips throughout the year have come and gone, and with the end of Autumn we’ve had quite a long period of mostly wet […]
Dedham Hall course More recent plein airs Talking of a ‘haar’, we spent the best part of five days in one, I think it was. That […]
Recent studio paintings Had a lovely refreshing walk one day in a gale, and took some photos which the one above was done from. Below my vantage point there is Pittenweem tidal pool, where there were still some swimmers enjoying the moment. Just down the coast ten minutes from me is Kingsbarns beach, which […]
Painting Competition – All the entries and result! Thank you to all who entered my most recent painting challenge/competition. It sounds like you all enjoyed it which is the main thing and I hope you also found the exercise useful. Below are all the (sixteen) entries I received, in no particular order (if I’ve somehow […]
A bit late for Happy new year. But here we are again! A slightly shorter post this time, but plenty to show here and some news. Time flies and is definitely never ‘spare’. I’ve done some paintings and some tuition and breathed some fresh air. For me, getting past the winter solstice is always […]
Hello again I hope you are well. I’ve got a lot here this time to share with you. It’s a long one, including: New 50 minute Youtube demo, new competition (win the original watercolour featured in the demo, plus all entrants get their painting featured in my blog with a ‘positive critique’) many recent […]

There can be so much one feels about everything in the world, and to open one’s mouth seems insubstantial or completely irrelevant. My whole life has felt irrelevant much of the time. I’ve been feeling I could […]
Hi and I hope this finds you well. I’ve had a busy couple of months, though less with painting-related things than I would have liked. Time constantly taken too much with obstacles related to a new home/old house (/new life!) and I can see this might be ongoing indefinitely. Life changes, and more than ever […]
Hi all Hope you’re well, warm and have time for a few pics to scroll through. This is going to be a fast run-down, with fewer words than normal. This first painting was a commission for a lady who provided a lot of help to the farmers of the area depicted, during the 2014 flooding. […]
Friends, hello! I hope this long-delayed blog may come as a welcome distraction, from more important things. It has been months, again, since I last blogged, so there’s quite a lot here. I hope you are well, or ‘bearing up’ under life’s pressures, anxieties and the practical difficulties of the times. I think it helps […]
