Bright Winter's Red

Did I say in my last post that was the final painting for the year? Wrong! I have been looking at this small piece in my studio for a while and had a sudden burst of energy towards it..that red is pretty flourescent in the flesh, I hope that the photo reflects that.

My Winter Warm painting below has just been sold to a wonderful client who has commissioned me twice in the past few years, each of her paintings are quite different. I hope that she enjoys her new artwork.

Happy December days.

I love December, despite all the busyness of this month I find Christmas lights magical!

I can't believe I have had a painting in the Saturday Telegraph magazine yesterday! I was so excited when a friend emailed to let let me know she had seen one of my paintings in a feature at the extraordinary and beautiful home of the Cooke family, Bayham hall in Kent. I was lucky enough to be commissioned to create two large pieces for them this year, and to have the opportunity to have a solo exhibition in their home back in September. I can't resist showing you a photo from the magazine, see below.

My studio has been pretty busy too, take a look at my newest work in progress, on a 40x150cm canvas. I love the shape! Should be finished next week.

 Finally, I so enjoy working on large paintings and this is one of my favourite pieces this year, a 110x180cm canvas. Soft colour and warm spring air somehow really appeal at this time of the year!

Very happy to sell this painting at the weekend through The Milk House in Sissinghurst, an inviting contemporary restaurant, bar and hotel, a stones throw away from Sissinghurst Castle Gardens.

My clients explained to me how they found the restaurant through a local eateries app, and then came for lunch to see the artwork!

gathering inspiration

I was away last week walking and cycling in beautiful Pembrokeshire. It has some of the most stunning coastpaths which are protected by the National Trust. Definitely an inspiring few days.

 It's also the home of some wonderful local businesses. We visited Hiut Denim in Cardigan, the factory unit is fascinating....and I love my new jeans! We also had coffee at the coolest bakery in Wales, Bara Menyn. Not only do they make delicious bread, they serve up a mean lunch or baked treat. We always pop into Melin Tregwynt too, a place full of the history of the area, a working weaving factory, and beautiful and sturdy contemporary Welsh rugs to buy.

River

My newest painting, I love the palette of blues and pinks, it can have so many tones and moods.
In this case there is a lot of contrast between the light and dark passages.
