The Walled Garden
I love Cottage Gardens and really enjoy painting garden scenes. This painting “The Walled Garden” which I exhibited at The Spring Art Fair in Teddington went to a new home.
Exhibiting at The Landmark Arts Centre, Teddington
Last Friday to Sunday 20-22 May, I exhibited at The Landmark Arts Centre in Teddington, South West London. It is a wonderful venue, a magnificent Church built in the 1880s.
Kippers at Craster
Whilst demonstrating at Wisley RHS Spring Garden Show I managed to finish this painting of Craster Harbour which is famous for it’s kippers. You can see Dunstanburgh Castle in the background on this rugged Northumberland coast.
Exhibiting at the RHS Spring Garden show in Malvern
Last week I exhibited at the RHS Spring garden show at Malvern with Boffy Art Markets. Here’s my stand in the Wye hall. I enjoy demonstrating painting too whilst discussing my techniques and subject matter.

I am busy this week preparing for Wisley RHS Garden show, where I shall be exhibiting with Craft in Focus, a contemporary craft and design fair. I have been making some decoupaged framed prints using some of my designs. Wisley is on from the 28th April-2nd May.
The Malvern Hills
The Malvern Hills are such an inspiring landscape and I am excited to be running some art and dance sessions there at “Centre of the Hills” therapy centre in May. They have invited me to join their team of therapists. I shall be holding sessions such as Art for beginners and storytelling adventures for children […]
Garden by the sea
This is an intricate painting of a grapevine, birds and flowers which I imagine could flourish in a warm climate by the sea. The birds look a little bit exotic, a kind of very colourful pigeon!
Craster Harbour
Harbours are one of favourite subjects and this week I have just completed this painting of Craster harbour in Northumberland. I have included some fishing boats and I can still remember the smell of kippers. I think I shall have to incorporate Kippers into my next painting!
Painting Lindisfarne
Here I am painting Lindisfarne. I am working with gouache on paper and I have just added some pearlescent pigment to give the painting a little shimmer.
