Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

What’s my news?

Anne and I are on vacation in Australia, visiting family and enjoying some c.

Meanwhile, work continues on our home – and my gallery – in Salcombe.

What’s happening at Beacon House?

A platform lift is being installed to make the house wheelchair friendly, and this involves the complete reconstruction of the front half of the property.

This photograph shows the work-in-progress of the uppermost floor. As you can see, there is currently nowhere to hang my paintings!

I’ll keep you posted on developments, and we will have a celebration when the new gallery is ready for visitors.

Watch this space!

Where can you see my original paintings?

All the galleries, including my own, are enjoying a well-earned break so I have no paintings available for sale for a while yet.

The first exhibition on my list for 2017 is the Salcombe Art Club Main Exhibition which opens on Thursday 13 April.

You can still buy my affordable art though: my fine art greetings cards.

Where can you buy my fine art greetings cards?

On show: The Quay at Newton Ferrers

The Quay at Newton Ferrers is another of my paintings on show at the Gallery Project in Noss Mayo until 23 December. TODAY!

Last chance to visit the Project Gallery, Noss Mayo in 2016

The gallery closes today so it’s your last chance to view my paintings there for a while.

Sadly, the Yealm hotel is also closed but the water’s edge and the mornings with their craft make a lovely scene. Masses of different craft appear to be at odds with one another.

What is the building in the picture?

I believe it to be a converted lifeboat station. It is clearly of sturdy construction.

Is it a good place to moor up?

I have moored here in the past but with great care, as the tide is very strong – not one you can swim against.

What was the attraction? Why did I paint this scene?

Simple! It’s beautiful. And romantic.

Nature’s greens meet at water level as the trees leave constantly move to kiss the water’s ripples.

On show: Newton Ferrers from Noss Mayo

Newton Ferrers from Noss Mayo is another of my paintings on show at the Gallery Project in Noss Mayo until 23 December.

You’ve not yet visited the Gallery Project in Noss Mayo?

This light, contemporary space provides the perfect setting to showcase art and craft from South Devon. It’s well worth a visit!

Maxine, who runs the Gallery Project has several of my originals on the show, all depicting scenes of these two locations: Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.

What’s so special about Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo?

At low tide, there are causeways to help pedestrians cross the water between the two villages of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo.
In addition, the three pubs are ideally sited from an artist’s point of view.

In this painting, I was positioned by Point Cottage only a few paces from the Ship Inn and the sun shone for as long as I needed it.
