Celebrating the Yorkshire stage of the Tour de France

Jane and I are having such a lovely time at Harlow Carr meeting up with old friends and getting to know lots of new ones as we work in the Bath House in the Gardens of RHS Harlow Carr. We have been waving goodbye to lots of our happy paintings and wishing them well in their new homes. It is so rewarding to watch the smiles on peoples faces as they engage with my paintings and talking through my sketchbooks I am able to explain the background to my work and my journey so far. One of the most popular pieces has been the painting commemorating the Yorkshire stage of the Tour de France, titled 'What's the hurry'. The original sold straight away as the exhibition opened but there are 2 sizes of print available should anyone want a reproduction. Just e mail me through the contacts page if you would like to know more. We are at the gardens until 4 pm on Tuesday 29th April if you would like to come and say hello.

Studio in the Bath House

Not long now until I set up my exhibition and temporary studio in the Bath House at RHS Harlow Carr. It will be lovely to have the opportunity to meet people and talk about my work and showcase the very latest paintings. The tulips in the gardens are going to be amazing this year so there will have to be a new tulip piece on the easel. Do pop in and say hello if you are planning to visit Harrogate over Easter. (Normal admission fees apply for the gardens)

Meanwhile my studio in my garden is bursting at the seams with STUFF ! it seams the more untidy my space is the more creative I feel. That's my excuse anyway :0)
