Happy New Year! I hope you’ll have a good year, full of health, peace, hope and projects, love and beauty, and full of things too, if you want things.

As some of you already know, my mother is very ill, and I’ll be spending a lot of time with her. I will also be painting, for that is my life and my passion, but I cannot plan ahead. I’ll be able to paint commissions, but possibly not within strict deadlines. I have decided not to undertake any solo exhibitions or open studios this year, to allow me to be with my mother when she needs me, but you’ll still be able to see some of my paintings in on-going exhibitions in North Yorkshire galleries from Cloughton to Loftus (there is a list of galleries on the “galleries” page). You can also contact me directly if you wish (my phone number is on the “contact” page). Thank you.

Here are two small watercolours to remind us of Summer…

Robin Hood’s Bay.
ink & watercolour, 11x15cm.

Staithes.
ink & watercolour, 12x16cm.
