Some new paintings

About time I added to my blog..not quite a painting a day! I have had a few fun painting days lately including an afternoon on the Beach at Camber and yesterday in London as my first day as a candidate with the Wapping Group. Went to Isleworth but despite being beautifully sunny when I left home it was grey and overcast all day in London. The company was good but didnt find it the most inspiring place to paint. Finished off with the traditional whitebait supper that starts and ends the painting season for the Wappers. Most embarrased to be painting badly with Trevor Chamberlain looking over my shoulder. I expect even he has bad days..just less of them!

A Day at the Beach

Well oday spent most of day on beach at Camber and then Hastings..absolutely heaving it could have been high summer. Really trying to work on my figures but its so difficult with so many people about and with them always moving. Did 3 little studies at Camber then moved on to Hastings and did one 8 x 18. Also had fish and chips by the sea which was pleasant.
No painting now until Wednesday ..unless I manage to get ahead of my work load.

Its been a while!

Well its been quite a while since I posted on my blog. Have been busy at work and paly but not much painting. Went to Redrag Gallery in the Cotswolds which was good and will be showing work with them from June onwards. Had no time to paint there except a small sketch in a National Trust property thats name I cant for the life of me remember. Then on the following Wednesday took mine and Paul Raffertys work to hand in at RA and painted badly in London. This week Ive been at Centre Parcs in Holland with my family .. Again virtually no painted. Did two crap sketches there , didnt find anything to inspire me. On way back stopped in great Town  of Gent , painted one scene of River that I was fairly happy with and did a nocturne at midnite with my might light..thats really sad isnt it! No rude comments please!
