An Unexpected Visitor
Recently we have had a mischievous cat creep into our front garden. She has even jumped onto the window sill looking for our dog Nipper. The other day they came to blows when we were taking Nipper for a walk. I think he was guarding his territory. Fortunately she got away!
A view through the window
There’s nothing better than enjoying a cup of tea and a cake on a Summer’s afternoon. We live in an old cottage overlooking some terraced houses, although I have used artistic licence making them brightly coloured in this painting.
Flowers and Sea shells in Salcombe
When I am back home it’s lovely to reflect and dream about good times. I have imagined a view through a window looking out to the sea. I used some fresh garden flowers to create the still life with butterflies fluttering delicately through the petals.
Beach huts and bunting
I also visited a beach in Teignmouth which had colourful beach huts. I have depicted them here with bunting reflected in the sea alongside an assortment of boats. I wanted to express it’s lively character and I have used mixed media, inks, watercolour and gouache.
Teignmouth Harbour
Whilst visiting Devon recently we visited Teignmouth. I loved this quirky harbour with it’s terraced houses right next to the beach.
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.
Exhibiting at Delamore Arts in Devon
I’m delighted to be exhibiting at Delamore Arts in Devon. (Cornward, Ivybridge, PL21 9QT) from the 1st-31st May 2022. This is one of the four paintings that I shall be displaying there – ‘St. Michael’s Mount view’
