A painting i did as a special commission for a 65th Birthday - Wasdale in the snow - the drive up Wasdale to get some inspiration was a bit eventful - with a road covered in sheet ice - all part of the artists day at work!

Here's my new painting 'Melbreak over the meadow' painted on wood with acrylic and Indian ink. size 16"x40". I'm about to start another painting to go in a set with this one, where the viewpoint is down in the grass looking towards the mountain.

My first painting, from a new project called - "Contours"

Blizzard in situe

2009-03-19T20:42:00.002Z

Today i dropped of the most recent painting - Blizzard - off at a gallery along with the Tulips painting. I'd been invited to go and show some work at the High Head sculpture Valley,And came away with some space in an exhibition starting at the end of april - woohoo! and one for next year too! and also left the 2 canvases with them for their studio gallery which holds a selection of pieces from exhibitors- What a great out come that was!

blizzard and prints

2009-03-13T12:16:00.003Z

Eventually managed to get my prints organised to sell online - the wonders of HTML and some copy and pasting from google! Also really pleased with a new painting i've been working on recently inspired by a sudden blizzard up Eskdale last month. bbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Tulips!

2009-02-16T18:41:00.003Z

I think we have a bit of tinternet madness going on here- blogger uploaded the Tulips finished one and changed the colours of the image from blue to orange- looks quite cool i think, but it doesn't exist in real life.

Anyway - here's the finished Tulips of sorts !!!

2009-02-08T11:38:00.004Z

Last weekend i went to see my life-size :Sunflower" image (on oak) - and "St Bees2" and "Blackcombe" on display at Percy House gallery in Cockermouth - it's such a lovely Gallery, my work feels at home there- lots of little nooks and crannies and higgledy piggledy stairs and rooms. It's a Ladies of the Lakes exhibition showing work by local female artists. Well worth a visit!!!!

Success in Keswick

2009-01-22T21:49:00.005Z

Good news came on monday with the news that one of my favourite paintings so far - St Bees Beach on timber has sold at the Theatre by the Lake!!! woo hoo! And henceforth lots more images on wood will be the order of the day ( or year) 2009 On Timber!!

Tulips!

2009-01-11T15:14:00.008Z

Contemporary Open Art Exhibition

2008-12-15T10:17:00.002Z

Today I'm taking this image - St Bees Beach, and my Lily painting to Keswick for the Contemporary Open Art Exhibition. It's the first painting I've done on timber but i think there will be more to come as i love the quality the timber brings to an image. Especially when the grain of the wood is allowed to become part of the image.

The exhibition runs from Sat 20th December 2008 til Sun 18th January 2009.

Welcome!
