So sorry for neglecting
Bluesky. I’m busy preparing for a solo show at Broadway Contemporary Art. Here are some offerings!

Thank you!

Just a little corner of a recent painting.

Pigeons!

Thank you!

I’ve been blown off course a bit this week with lots of admin, a book cover rough and a commission rough, not to mention mounting 76 prints for the Scillies.

This means the summer teasels have had to be patient. Nearly there now - here’s a little corner away from the last section I showed you.

Thank you ☺️

Summer teazles are very pretty before they go all brown and spiky.
I do like that incarnation too, except when they’re turned into miniature hedgehogs with googly eyes and little hats, which is an affront to all teazles.

Thank you 😁

I've just finished this 60x60cm painting of our (almost) daily walk .

At the moment there's waist high cow parsley that must be wriggled through to emerge into the field. This was early evening, and that's Stratford-upon-Avon in the distance.

It's always nice, even in the rain.

Part of the start of something new. A familiar view for us, as it features in our (almost) daily walk.

Hopefully this painting should be arriving in Portscatho today, at @theharbourgallery.bsky.social

It’s the well trodden footpath that links the village with Porthcurnick beach. Can’t wait to be there again soon. 😁

Thank you!

This painting of #portisaac will also be heading to a new home from the exhibition at Padstow Gallery.

Many thanks Gill

Thank you 😁

I hope you’re all enjoying a lovely sunny day.
Jobs in the garden for us, before the family arrive.

Anyway - this was the first painting of mine to find a new owner from the exhibition at Padstow Gallery. 😁

Oops - 10.30-5.

The joint exhibition has begun at Padstow Gallery. Every day 10.39-5 until May 5.

Something big and bold for the upcoming exhibition at Padstow Gallery.

I'll be setting off very early on Thursday to deliver my paintings, then it's over to Liz to hang them all while I slope off to go for a pasty. She wouldn't want me getting in the way now, would she?

This is part of a painting I started on Thursday. I’ve always loved this farm, glimpsed from the M40 not far from Oxford services.

The different parts on the farm look as if they’ve grown like branches over time and I love the angles of the roofs.

Thank you 😁

Padstow Gallery exhibition April 18 - May 5

Old Town, St Mary’s - a favourite spot on St Mary’s, Isles of Scilly.

Harold Wilson is buried in a very simple grave in the churchyard off to the right, so he must have liked it too.

Thank you to Tamarisk Gallery for selling this little painting yesterday.

I saw my first (very few) woodland bluebells yesterday. I love this time of year when the blackthorn blossom is rampant and there are primroses too, then the all the bluebells are still to come. Smashing. 😁

'The New Hawaiian Shorts' (a brave and bold statement piece for one's wardrobe) has set off to a new home, with thanks to Montpellier Gallery.

Thank you ☺️

Here's another painting that'll be in the exhibition at Padstow Gallery starting on Good Friday. Happy memories of an early spring walk to Daymer Bay
