New Studio

Moved into new studio yesterday-its a great space (approx 40m2). Its  all set up and ready to go!  Took some photos will post shortly

Moving Studio

I've outgrown my studio in Barrowford and therefore I'm moving into a new studio (which is much bigger) located at Oyston Mill Preston. Hopefully I will be up and running in early February.

Going painting tomorrow (24th) around Loweswater and Buttermere, weather forecast for strong winds.

Buttermere study from last visit

Just got back from North Wales

Picked up all 22 paintings for my solo show from Vincent this morning and drove over to the Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddew this afternoon. The Long Gallery was in the middle of refurbishment and looks great. Can't wait to see them hung! See below one of the larger paintings 91x91cm image size.

Just got back from Cumbria

Spent a few days at Allonby (big thank you to Steve and Christine -Castlegate House Gallery) did a number of drawings on the beach on the first day. Can't believe it the day I choose to visit Allonby the sea is like a mill pond! Will have to pop back to paint the famous waves another day.
Second day visited Maryport and Loweswater. Couldn't resist searching out the spot that Sheila Fell produced her wonderful paintings of Maryport-produced a couple of drawings. Loweswater is stunning -walked the complete lake producing drawings in my sketch book.

On the final day visited Buttermere hoping for an atmospheric day and interesting skies. Once again it was a lovely day-not ideal conditions for painting! Did one painting, which turned out OK.
