I am currently putting together a range of handmade greetings cards, reproduced from my own paintings.  Here is a sneak preview showing how they will look.  Hopefully in a few weeks they will be available for sale.  I will put details of how to purchase these, on here soon.....

GREAT VALUE prints window-mounted with heavy-duty mottled white art card 8” x 6”, which make very classy and personal greetings cards (blank inside). They come hand packaged in a clear cellophane sleeve with a quality white envelope.  

All cards are signed on the front of the card in pencil by the artist, and titled on the reverse.

Blank greetings cards reproduced from my own paintings.

Here is a painting of my beautiful niece.  It is a very important portrait for me as it is the first time I have used oil paints in my work.  Here's to many more......

I really enjoyed the private view yesterday at The Mall Galleries 'Royal Society of Portrait Painters Annual Exhibition' which starts today 9-24th May 2013. I am so honored to be included in this show.....

I was truly blown away by the quality of the work, especially Jan Mikulka who's self portrait won the £20,000 SELF prize.

I was in between paintings and decided that I wanted to paint another self-portrait....

I am so pleased my Self Portrait (Triptych) has been selected for the 'SELF' exhibition at the Mall Galleries. It will be on display from Thu 9 - Fri 24 May 2013.

The new painting and drawing prize SELF,  will be shown as a special section of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters annual exhibition.

SELF aims to explore self-representation in painting and drawing. Free from the constraints of commissioned portraiture, the self-portrait does not seek to flatter the sitter, pay a model, play slave to time and is free to explore character and medium; the artist is at liberty to push the boundaries and experiment.

I am delighted that my work has been featured in the 'Painters, lenses and photography' article, written by resident artist Mathew Gibson at Winsor & Newton....

Here is my most current painting my daughter Lila Pearl.  I like to paint one of her each year, and now she is 5 years old it was time to paint another..... 

I know this is a little late but wishing you all a Happy Creative New Year. After being a little quiet with my painting over the last few months, I have stretched a canvas and am now ready to go....
