I seem to be an early riser. And I do get to see some breathtaking skies. All these are taken in those few seconds before the hues change so dramatically, to equally beautiful new ones. These are just a few I came across in my collection. The last one is a sunset. In the amazing [...]

We decided that the last Saturday of term should be a bit of an outing for everyone one to join in. Luckily the weather was not the usual Easter downpour, but a blue day with plenty of sun. Off we went on the ferry and made our way to the – where else – the [...]

Oh they put on a 5 Star Opening at The Bather’s Pavilion. Between 6.30 and 8.30 the invited guests cruised up the grand staircase to the exhibition upstairs. Da daaa. Those who’d been before knew that if they went up the far stairs, they’d get their first glass before coming round to be greeted. The [...]

Well this is different. For me anyway. By using a sketch as the reference, which I’d done on location at Balmoral Beach, I decided to block it in using my acrylics straight onto 300gsm Arches Aquarelle. Interesting how you get a slightly illustrative look, because it’s already that way in the sketch. Also has a [...]

For me this is a larger work. 16 X 18 inches or thereabouts. Now doing some bigger watercolours in this sketch style. Weddings are very much part of the scene at Balmoral Beach, particularly on weekends. There were 7 groups having photos taken in the rotunda, and on the bridge to the Island when I [...]

I seem to be on a roll at the moment. Another acrylic painting has just been perked up. Perhaps I’m clearer now about how I want these decorative acrylics to look. I didn’t think the softer colours worked as well on this one as the new added brights. I’ve kept the ‘lost edges’ though. Yes, [...]

I knew there was something not quite complete about ‘Green Shutters 1′. The thing I like about having work hanging in the Studio, is that sometimes you know something needs doing but don’t know what. Everything has been moved around now that the Exhibition is over and sold paintings gone. So it was a chance [...]

Just the usual morning. Get the dogs ready to walk. Get me ready to walk. Off we go. What’s that black shape out in the bay? It’s not a boat, not a bird, not a dolphin. OMG it’s a whale – two actually. Looks like a big one and baby. Awwwwwww. Cute. Suddenly people stop [...]

I actually have a painting partly done, which has been abandoned in my excitement at producing these textured canvas decoratives. Now there three. No longer hidden away unresolved. Now transformed. Very colourful. Very simple compositions. Seem to be working well and a style I’m enjoying. I just have a watercolour to do of St Roch [...]
