Another day at the office

In between rain showers I managed a day at Constantine Bay this week. I started a new piece that garnered a fair bit of attention from the beach goers! Then took it back to the studio to add the extras.

In the studio today

Ahoy

Whilst painting at Constantine yesterday I witnessed a pirate ship sailing northwards!

Beach life

I've been painting at the beach (Constantine bay) a fair bit recently. Taking in the ever changing colours and mood of the sea and surf.

That worked !!

A few pics of the studio.

A winters day in June

I haven't blogged for a long time now but just downloaded the blogger app for my iPhone. Let's see if it works!

So far the summer has been like winter with only a few hot sunny days thrown in. The studio completion has been delayed a fair bit due to bad weather but I'm in there now and all is well.

This week

This week i'll be hanging my work in the Carnmarth Hotel in Newquay. The Line Up is a group exhibition as part of the first ever Newquay Arts festival. Last Friday i hung a new collection of paintings at the Source Cafe in town also. I must try and blog more. Yes i will.

Some new some old paintings on showat the Source Cafe in

Cornwall Today

Here's my feature in Cornwall Today, April issue.

Cornwall Today!!

Just picked up the new April issue of Cornwall Today magazine! I have a whole page about my Artwork in the 'Postcard from an Artist' section. Hurrah!!

Foggy Thursday

Surfed this morning at Constantine, then stopped off to dig more dirt at Toms. A trench had to be dug to extend the concrete base of the new studio! Things are looking good time wise, I may be in a lot sooner than expected.
Meanwhile back at the present studio I just finished framing this painting of Bantham in South Devon. It will soon join a load more that will be for sale at Discovery Surf School at Bigbury.

New stuff

Yesterday happened! A marathon surf up the coast then a bit of extreme destruction at Toms house. What started as a simple 'moving of things out of the old workshop', turned into the total destruction of said building. The cows in the nearby field enjoyed the heat. We are going to rebuild the workshop and add a studio for myself!

A fresh start!

Maybe my new website brought you here? Anyway, looking at the date of my last blog i thought it's about time i knuckled down and started blogging regularly. I have a few exciting things coming up soon. I'll be in the 'Postcard from an artist' section in next months Cornwall Today magazine. Also coming up in April i'll be exhibiting at the Watershed and the Carnmarth Hotel in Newquay as part of Art8 Arts Festival. Joy to the world!!
