I’ve had 3 works accepted for the Bath and West Show including this new Somerset Coast scene, Steep Holm

It’s 16 by 24 inch and was painted freely from a plein air painting of the same scene, which incidentally was the first Plein air I painted.

I’m also pleased to also have “The Patriarch” (banner picture) exhibited there; Helen’s grandfather was a Somerset farm manager so he’s in familiar surroundings. I’ve never been to the Bath and West show previously (Royal Welsh show many times yes!) so will be excited to see it. I won’t see them until picking up day so let me know how they look there. From 29th May to 1st of June.

A great cake eating final push from all my #artsweek visitors raised £194.64 for the lighthouse. Burp.

The meagre cake leftovers… really that was it. Cue belly rumble.

For the mathematically minded that’s 0.46 large cakes per visitor. Well done all, especially Helen and the kids for cooking, icing and slicing efforts.

Oh yes and thanks for all the painting and card sales too as well as commission enquiries!

A massive thank you to all of the visitors to my #artsweek open studio,

We’ve raised £94.30 for the lighthouse so far and we all enjoyed the cakes too, thanks Helen. Thank you to Bill Shier for organising so much to support the lighthouse. I got some fantastically helpful feedback on my work and between Richard and I we got three red dots too! Can’t wait until next weekend and good luck to the other venues that are open in the week and I hope the sun brings you plenty more visitors.

Fantastic, positive response from NSAW #artsweek visitors

I’ve had some really great feedback from visitors so do come along tomorrow if you’re thinking about it; between my eclectic mix and Richard’s imagination there’s something for everyone.

Plenty of cake sales too and people enjoying the sun, views from the garden and wandering down to the lighthouse which we are raising money to maintain.

I got out before the start to paint this view from green 7 (I think) on the golf course before the sun came out. Here’s hoping for plenty more sun tomorrow, I enjoyed my mid-afternoon cider in the garden after having 11 in the house at once! Clarification! That’s 11 visitors not ciders.
