It pays to check your junk email folder as when I checked mine this week, I heard that my Monotype print  ‘Towards the Woods’ was shortlisted for the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and will be featured in their online print drop – here’s mine:-

It’s really encouraging news as I’ve only recently started making monotype prints. I’m still finding that for every one I make that I’m pleased with the next nine don’t work out as planned but this is more reason to keep making them!

Ukrainian Youth Group – collage workshop

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

I had a really enjoyable evening running an informal collage workshop for the local Ukrainian Youth group which meets at St Barnabas Hall in Dulwich. Although they only had an hour and a half, they all came up with some imaginative and thought provoking collages, and still managed to have time for pizza and a chat too! I’m looking forward to going back again soon. You can find out more about the group and also see larger versions of these and more collages here:- Ukrainian Youth Group, Dulwich

It was a great surprise to go back to the Summer Exhibition with the family a few days ago and to see a red dot by my painting, especially as it was sold before the exhibition had even opened to the public. I was also very pleased to see so many red dots on my neighbours’ paintings – congrats, everyone!

by | posted in: landscapes | 0

It was quite special to be able to attend ‘Varnishing Day’ at the Royal Academy recently. Starting with a walk over to St James’ Piccadilly for a ‘Service for Artists’, then back for a reception and a first look at our paintings on the wall. My landscape is in room V11 and the room has been curated beautifully (we all agreed) by Farshid Moussavi RA.

 

Here’s a link to a video of it:-   .a short walk-through room V11 at the Summer Exhibition

I’m still in a state of shock and surprise to hear that ‘Bradwell from Tollesbury’ has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022 – I had to read the email 3 times to make sure!

The painting is on canvas and is a mixed media landscape of Tollesbury salt marshes in Essex a weird and wonderful place, overlooking the river Blackwell estuary across to Bradwell sands and the decommissioned power station and is one of a series I’ve made of the area.
