    En plein air

    Sometimes I need to breath the sea air and paint directly, soaking up the atmosphere, luckily the beautiful French Atlantic island of L'Ile d'Oleron is just a few hours away

    We Are All Connected

    We Are All Connected

    None of us live in isolation we are all connected to someone else Some of the connections are strong, black lines over short distances that bind us to loved ones and family. Some connections are delicate threads that can be barely seen but link us to someone we barely know, the person who sits opposite us on the train, who nods a recognition. What about the woman who does the same job as us in another place? The man who listens to the same music, the child who reads the books we read when we were small. How would it be if a piece of art that sat on our wall held a thread between the artist, and ourselves and the next person who collected a piece by that artist? The piece connected by a line to our painting. Our ownership became part of the art. We might know where the painting came from, look at photos of the studio, read reviews of the painter, but we could only imagine where the painting led on to, where does the buyer of the next piece live?

    Queaux 365 Project - when the exhibition went up

    Queaux 365 Project - when the exhibition went up

    Queaux 365 As a newcomer and a foreigner in the beautiful, rural, but maybe a little sleepy, French village of Queaux, it was difficult to think of a way I could help when our newly elected and inspirational Maire asked us all to do something to ‘redynamiser’ the village. Then I had the idea that as an artist the best way I could contribute was to paint something in the village everyday and share it on Facebook. In my small way a step towards helping bring the many charms of Queaux to the attention of the wider world. These paintings were made every day for a year, ‘en plein air’ or in my studio in the village directly from notes taken on walks & drives around the commune of Queaux (depending on the weather conditions on the day). They were then shown all together in the village. Each painting is on heavy watercolour paper and may include artists quality watercolour paint , acrylic, ink, pencil,collage & oil pastel.
