Latest news

I have just got back from an inspiring trip to Bournemouth to visit the Russel Cotes Museum and Gallery. A flamboyant Victorian villa filled with his collection of art including many Pre-Raphaelite gems. It is so good to be able to visit galleries and museums again and see real art on real walls rather than on a computer screen!

So a reminder to visit the Foxcroft Exhibition in Albury Surrey that is on from 14th-29th August also set in a lovely Victorian house and garden.

Latest work fresh off the easel

Welcome to my new website where I will be showcasing my latest work. I hope you enjoy looking through my gallery and find something to inspire you.

I have just finished a watercolour of the glorious wild poppies that have seeded in my garden. They flower till midday then shed their petals leaving the sculptural seed heads to form. Intense colour and transparency are a joy to paint. You can see it under watercolours.

I have also recently done an oil painting of some treasured antique cutlery which I think looks great in it’s new frame.

Thought for today, a quote from William Morris. “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful”.

My next project will be an oil painting of a lovely renaissance style dish with an Agapanthus flower. Watch this space…

I am presenting some of my work in the forthcoming Fircroft Art Exhibition in Albury, Surrey from Sat 14th – Sun 29th August 2021
