Hello 2021!

In the first week of January it seems as if we have fitted in enough news for a year.  As a painter, self isolation is no stranger to me, in fact I find no distractions really helps my work.  I'm dreaming up new subject matter and media so watch this space.  

I've got 2 pastels in the Pastel Society at the Mall Galleries which I'm thrilled about but because of lockdown it will be online. On the positive side, many more people should be able to see the show.  My works are now very big so on the bright side it stops the challenges of big journey into the city centre.

January is a time to reflect - the lack of light makes it more of a race to get out and work but signs of spring are appearing.  

This apple blossom was pastelled under lockdown last year - and it very much feels that spring is round the corner.
