    Exhibition at Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve

    I currently have eleven original paintings on exhibition and for sale at the Titchfield Haven Nature reserve, Titchfield Haven , Hampshire. The paintings have all been inspired by visits to the reserve, adjacent Marina and the Titchfield area. This is a very special place with a café overlooking the Marina and well worth a visit. https://www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/countryparks/titchfield

    15000 Loves!

    15000 Loves!

    My latest painting 'Springtime in Andaluthia I' has tipped me over the 15,000 'loves' today for my paintings listed on Artfinder ... mostly from other artists and since December 2013. When I started listing paintings with Artfinder there were around 900 artists exhibiting their work and now I believe there are around 11,000, so it is becoming much more difficult to stand out. Small achievement perhaps but one to be celebrated I believe and it is very important to me that this small approval has been given 15,000 times ... It is encouragement to carry on listing works for sale ! If you have pressed that button for any of my paintings then many thanks... it is much appreciated.

    Landscape Reflections XV

    Landscape Reflections XV

    I have been creating a series of paintings which I have called 'landscape reflections' which all feature reflections in water. Lately I have become hooked on using the sumptuous range of 'Golden' acrylic paints and gels to add texture and sheen to the works. They are expensive but I figure that I am worth it !

    Paintings for the Titchfield Art Show 2018

    I am currently completing nine original artworks which will be exhibited at the 2018 Titchfield Art show. This is always a great art show well supported by some well known local and regional artists where the artists price the artworks very competitively to support the show. Well worth a visit, particularly for the preview night which this year is Friday 27 April. Tickets need to be purchased in advance. See web site http://titchfieldartandcraft.co.uk/
