New Book - teaser and special offer

I'm just putting the finishing touches to a new volume of paintings. The lefthand Hurlers painting was crucial to Rock, Canvas, Painting Knife, but there's room for something painted with a brush, too, and that's one of the finishing touches I'm working on ...

I'm hoping to take advantage of Blurb's "Flash Sale" - 25% off for the rest of September.

And should you also wish to get money off at Blurb, you will need to know the discount code, which is 25AUTUMN. Offer details here.

More Hurlers

At Easter, we visited Bodmin Moor's Hurlers; in July I painted some of them. The painting seemed lonely, and seemed to need a companion piece It's taken me a while to get around to doing it, but I've finally painted a second Hurlers piece.

School Mural Project: First wall done

I took new photographs today; it was overcast, which was better than against the light!

I think Watership Down is finished, now, and The Heart of the Village is coming on.
