A  Recent Commission

In the early summer I did a commission of the interior of Easton Parish Church. They have recently opened up a door on the North side of the church and have spent time reorganizing the inside including the laying of a new stone flagged floor. This is in a Celtic Cross design – using old flagstones – and was an important part of the commission as well as the view through the North door.

This was an interesting commission as I had to incorporate all the main elements – so the result was a ‘fish-eye’ view. The response was very positive!


Tower Art Centre, Winchester

At the Tower Art Centre every Tuesday evening I run an art class for beginners, and every Wednesday daytime I run two painting classes.


Oils

I am now embarking on a new adventure: painting in oils.  To bring me up to speed, I have just spent 3 days at West Dean College in Sussex attending Val Whiffen's course on oil painting.

 


 

As usual, I can’t stop experimenting – I have endless ideas for pictures!
