Every year my husband and I take a long weekend trip to the gorgeous city of Bath. We go to meet up with a friend, shop in the interesting arcades and streets and take in the Art Museums, galleries and bookshops for which Bath is renowned.

On Monday 1st November the Dorking Group of Artists opens it’s new exhibition at the Denbies Wine Estate. I always look forward to this one as it is a large exhibition, with over 200 works to look at. So something for every taste and the Private view is always fun to attend and to meetContinue reading “A colourful day out?”

I went to this annual summer event with a little trepidation having watched the BBC preview programme.

Deeper and warmer colours come toContinue reading “News update”

Whilst at the Fircroft exhibition this week one of my purchasers asked me to tell them about the painting. Which made me think. Where does my inspiration come from and why choose a particular subject? In this painting I chose three ordinary objects because they were all highly valued and rare objects centuries ago butContinue reading “What’s it all about”

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 thanContinue reading “Latest news”
