Phew, that’s better! I can relax and let the paint do what it likes to my new easel now that the bird has made its mark!

I’m excited to be exhibiting in the newly-formed St Just Society of Artists group exhibition from 20 April – 3 May 2019. Entitled ‘Arrival’ at Morvah Schoolhouse you can expect vibrant painted expression of our joie de vivre at living in this wonderful landscape.

Having fun completing new images for Open Studios – paint flying everywhere – not looking forward to the tidy-up…

Suddenly, this golden flame where the gorse was brown and dry after such a long winter..
