Greetings.......

It has been a very busy time for me just lately, which of course, I am very pleased about.

As per usual I have been sketching a huge amount.  Probably more than I ever have done before, and I always love posting my drawings on twitter, it gives me an extra sense of satisfaction.

I am also building up more paintings for my next solo exhibi...

I'd like to show my appreciation for deviantart....

I recieved an email a couple of weeks ago saying that some of my work was being shown at their latest print exhibition.  As you can imagine this was great news.  Even greater when I discovered that this show was being held at Shoreditch, one of my favourite places in London, a kind of mecca for contemporary art!....

Believe me, this was completely out of the blu...

Hi all....

Just a quick update to keep you informed of up and coming events....

As you may or may not know, my local art society has an annual exhibition over at coolings nursery, rushmore hill,  Knockholt, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN14 7NN on the 20th, 21st, 22nd of July.

Anyone local to the area, or anyone who may me passing by, please do come in and take a look....

Hello again, hope you are well......

I wanted to give you an update on a painting I started quite a while ago now.  A couple of months back during a brief spell of good weather I headed down to greenwich riverside equipped with my easel and a good selection of paints.

I made a start on two paintings that day, one of docklands/canary wharf, and another of the thames overlooking the cutty sark in greenwich.

Just a quick update folks....

As always I have been busy painting away and having a pretty good time.  I have made some adjustments to a plein air painting that has been sitting around for a month or so, bugging me, so I will be getting out my portable easel in the next few days adding some more detail to this one.

I tend to paint landscapes in a very different way from portraits.  Style wise and in the length of...

Hello there, and thank you very much for dropping by again.

I wanted to share with you my thoughts that I have been having just recently. 

But first, in case you haven't seen it already, here is my brand new painting, titled "less is more"....

Hello there, I hope you have been well and good.....

This is a quick post to keep you up to date with my latest life drawing session.

I always look forward to these sessions, which come along once a month for me, it is always a challenge and this month was certainly no different.

We had a regular male model who we use quite often, and he is quite an experienced life model and very good to work w...

Hello once again, I hope you have been well, and have been creative as usual....

I have been busy with the pastels once again, and I am still having fun with this great medium.

Tonal studies is my passion at the moment and I am always on the lookout for reference material. So when I found a classic photo of Audrey Hepburn in black and white, I just couldn't resist! I just had to paint it and add my little "spin" on thing...

Hello again, I hope you have all been well...

It's been a busy time for me again lately, which is a good thing right?.....

Following the feedback I recieved from my exhibition recently, I have been producing a lot of black and white portraits. Mainly because these are what got the biggest responce, and perhaps more importantly because I absolutely love painting in black and white pastel!

I can s...
