    Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2023

    Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2023

    I have just made my submission for Sky landscape Artist of the year 2023. It is difficult to select a painting that is out of the ordinary and will catch those judges eyes! In the end I selected my 'Hillier Gardens Pond' painting. Having been a wild card in 2018 and 2020, this is my best pitch for one of those pods!

    Dispatch to the USA

    Dispatch to the USA

    My large 102 cm x 102 cm painting 'Weymouth Beach I' is the 20th painting of the 61 paintings that I have sold through Artfinder that I have dispatched to the USA. It is great to have this continued support from American customers. This one certainly took some packaging up for its journey!

    Rainforest

    Rainforest

    It has been nice to be evoking memories of the Belize rainforest during dull days in February in the UK this past week! In 1993 I spend the entire of February in Belize ( and briefly Guatemala). It was fabulous as it seemed a really short winter. We visited the Jaguar sanctuary and went looking for Jaguars on horseback... all we saw were fresh paw pints in the mud unfortunately ... still a great memory!
