Exhibitions & News
2009, now drawing to a close, has been both an interesting and rewarding year. It is a year when I have been involved in four exhibitions as well as the Open Studio event in June. It was satisfying to be involved once again in the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Annual Exhibition, after a self-imposed break of some 30 years, and the one man Spring exhibition at Bromley, which drew many encouraging comments, was particularly satisfying.
Before proceeding further I want to thank all of you who have purchased paintings or prints, either at exhibition, from the web site or at some other event; I hope you will enjoy them for many years to come. I have produced more watercolours this year than in any previous year and hope within the next few months to produce more of Brittany and Skye. Sketchbooks are full of material following visits to the Dordogne, Skye and Brittany and the first of the Brittany watercolours can now be seen in the Gallery.
2010 looks like being another interesting year. I hope to be exhibiting at the Ab Fab Affordable Art Fair in Whitstable this Easter. I will post further details on this site as they emerge. Developing details can be found on [www.abfabartfairs.com]. A period is earmarked for sketching again in Provence which I hope will bring forth blue skies and deep toned seas but we shall see.
As I mentioned previously, a number of people have asked me whether I would consider running classes in sketching and painting in watercolours and I am still toying with the idea. Perhaps you would be kind enough to let me know should you wish to add your name to those who are thinking in this way. Certainly, should there be enough people interested I should be willing to take matters to the next stage.
