2024 has been busy as ever with my bi-annual show which took place at the Fosse Gallery which went very well, as well as the usual spring and summer shows at my regular galleries. Canterbury Fine Art has also been doing well for me in their first year of trading and is a gallery well worth a visit.

I had the most wonderful trip down the Nile on an old paddle steamer in April/May and have been buzzing from the imagery and the timeless tranquility that I saw there ever since. Watercolours have emerged from my trip anfd they will be on show at the Russell Gallery shortly.

So the year has run on ahead of me and now here we are with my studio full of nee paitnings ready to be collected to be framed for my annual solo show at the Russell Gallery in Putney. My show there opens on 31st October and I will be in the gallery on that day between 5pm and 8pm if you would like to come and see the new paintings. There will be new paintings of the Nile, of Rajasthan and of Cornwall and Scotland, as well as some interiors with collected bits and pieces. The gallery will be showing about 55 new paintings of mine in watercolour, acrylic, collage and oil and will run Tuesdays-Saturdays until 23rd November. Work will arrive at the gallery a couple of weeks before the show opens so you can always have an early rummage.

My regular galleries are the Jerram Gallery in Sherborne, Byard Art in Cambridge, the Fosse Gallery, in Stow-on-the-Wold, the  Veryan Galleries in Cornwall, Canterbury Fine Art in Kent and the Russell Gallery in Putney, and you can see examples of my work there constantly. The New English Art Club also have work of mine for sale on their website, and there are a few galleries who come and go where my work pops up occasionally.

Straight after the opening of my show I am heading off to Rajasthan again to look at the painted haveli and frescos in the Shehawati and to visit the Pushkar Camel Fair so look out ofr paintings inspired by that trip next year. I hope that I might get back to Egypt too and mooch around Scotland again seeking out those elusive wee huts, so watch this space.

You can follow me on instagram and message me if any paintings are of interest.
