Phew! Back from Patchings and just about unpacked and sorted…..kind of. It was a lot of fun, I met loads of lovely people including some artists I’d long admired and even got some sunshine to boot, though not a lot! So anyway, welcome, welcome to all those lovely new subscribers, I hope you enjoy my ramblings and more importantly my daily paintings. Speaking of which, I’m not quite sure just how daily they’ll be in the next weeks as I have another show coming up that I must prepare for. Firstly, if you are in my area, I am going to be painting in the window of the Made in Northamptonshire shop in St. Gilles st, Northampton on Thursday morning. If you’re passing give me a wave or better still, come in and say hello. I will no doubt feel a complete lemon or maybe like one of those ladies in Amsterdam. Don’t think I’ll wear the suspenders though! Here’s one I made earlier as I haven’t managed to get to the easel today yet.

8”x8”, oil on gessoboard

This little stem fell from the hyacinths I was painting the other day so I thought I would pay tribute.   It had to be a quick one as I have been shop-keeping today at the Made In Northamtponshire shop which was fun.  Whoever let me loose on that till was very brave!

I don’t know why but I’m really drawn to this Jamie Oliver ramekin which is that lovely dark grey which is oh so trendy at the moment.    I’ve been busy sprucing up the studio for the weekend and also filling in my stock sheets for the new pop-up shop in Northampton to open next week in St. Giles street.  It will be full of lovely things made by local artisans.  More on that later.
