This is a portrait to the landscape painting below, Watery Conversations. It's leaf falling time here, and the patterns and shapes from that are always so lovely.

Walk to Camber Sands

I have been busy in the last few weeks, and am busy photographing work today.
This painting is Walk to Camber Sands, which is our local beach. It is backed by sand dunes covered in heavy coarse grasses...the sort you can play hide and seek in. Any walk to the beach involves a pathway through the grasses, and a natural frame for the sea.





Finishing touches



Plum Painting. 30x30cm. Acrylic on Canvas

Six paintings in one!!

I have extended this commission from three to six panels. They fit in between beautiful wooden beams on this staircase....




Now we have another three panels to place underneath. Until they are hung it is hard to photograph them!




Autumn exhibitions

We are heading into autumn with a vengeance here in Kent. the temperature has dropped, and rain is falling not too gently on the window-pane next to my desk.



Summer Field. 30x30cm. Acrylic on Canvas



I am involved in several projects in the next couple of months. Firstly the Hospice on the Weald Contemporary Art Sale, see here. This should be a really fun couple of days, I am looking foward to attending.



After Monet. detail. Acrylic on Canvas

Secondly I will have some artwork at the Hampshire Art Fair, which is near Andover on November 8th-14th.



Pinks III. 50x50cm. Acrylic on Canvas


Lastly I am having a solo show in December at the Blue Moon Gallery in Tunbridge Wells.....very exciting!!

Changing and layering this painting

This painting started out here and now it has moved onto this. It's quite small, and i have really enjoyed the colour combinations, mint and cerulean blue with oranges and pinks. It goes with the hot and fabulous september we are enjoying.
