Welcome to my Blog

I am pleased to welcome you to my blog and though I am a complete novice when it comes to blogging I am excited by the possibilities it presents and look forward to showing you my work, the work that some of my students produce and to answering any questions you may have about aspects of the work, techniques used or just discussing painting and drawing.

I will start with a demonstration of aspects of garden and flower painting and then give one to one tuition and guidance in the medium of your choice.



These paintings were the result of a drawing and painting workshop that I ran at the National Trust's Mottistone Manor Garden in July 2012. After a damp start to the day the rain cleared half an hour into the session and out came the sun which lit everything up beautifully and made for a great days sketching, photographing and painting! Thanks to all at Mottistone especiallly the head gardener Robert and his team of volunteers for creating and keeping such a beautiful garden, well worth a visit! The highlight of the garden? All of it!



The painting above is of the top half of the herbaceous border and the painting on the right is of the herbaceous border viewed looking back, both are painted in Artisan water mixable oils
