Nature Exhibition Video

We had a lovely weekend despite the unexpected early snow storm! We had friends from London staying and I also sold my 2 small water tower paintings that I posted on here last week. I have recently changed my schedule around and now have 4 whole week days free to paint for the first time ever so I'm hoping that means I'm going to be much more productive and also able to blog a little more frequently.


I found out yesterday that three of my paintings are going to be in the "Precious" small works exhibition at Soo Rye Art Gallery in Rye, New Hampshire which opens on November 19th which is good news! Also, Linus Gallery in Pasadena have just posted up a video of the Nature exhibition that finished last week - Click HERE to see the video and spot my paintings!

More Water Towers

I have had a lovely weekend, good food and great company and you really can't beat New York in the autumn (sorry, fall!). I'm still painting some of NYC's many water towers, here are a couple more of my recent small paintings.

Water Towers & Other Things

I've been having a very busy but very exciting couple of weeks and suddenly it's seems that lots of things are happening at once. Having managed to figure out how to suitably package my two paintings that were going to California - several rolls of bubble wrap later, I had a very unpleasant reality when I discovered the outrageous cost I would have to pay for UPS's shipping services. However, as luck would have it that was also the day I sold the my a large charcoal drawing which was a very nice surprise and extremely well timed to cover my UPS bill! Much to my relief the paintings have now arrived at the gallery so I assume they are being installed as I write this.


I have also been adding the final touches to my card range and working on a new project which is based on New York's many Water Towers. This was inspired by a friend who is looking for a painting of New York's lesser depicted rooftop silhouette, the hundreds of water towers. This weekend the weather finally cooperated and allowed me to go out and pound the pavements in search of some suitable angles to start painting from and it's amazing how you start to notice them just about everywhere when you actually look. So I've done a few sketches and completely fallen in love with the subject, they are just so "paintable"!
