Kingsclere Gallops - SOLD

There's a place near here where the footpath runs alongside a lowland gallop. It's on my way to my favourite painting pitch. Last year, I managed to coincide with the local racing stables' morning exercise, and I sneaked a few photographs.

Kingsclere Jigsaw

This is the village I live in. There is a certain point at which you can see the downs rising behind the church tower like a wall of green. This is that scene rendered in felt tip pen on a formerly blank jigsaw.

Felt tip, marker pen and white acrylic ink on laminated card jigsaw board, 16 x 20"

SOLD (to the lady on her way to the Post Office, in the picture)

Photo of School Fête

In a rare sunny moment at yesterday's fête, I have been caught on camera making a sale.

Tents, it has to be said, offer excellent T-shirt (and banner) hanging opportunities.

School Fête

Yesterday was the day of the local Primary School Fête. My children both go to the school in question, and I decided to take my smaller paintings (7x7cm - including the LEGO paintings - and 5x7") and assorted printed merchandise along as a stallholder.

It rained. Not all the time, but when it did rain, it did so seriously. The wind was taking itself seriously, too. Especially when we put our tent up...

Green Wellies in magazine!

Should you be inclined to buy the summer issue of Leisure Painter, you will find a picture of my son's old wellies in it. (He's got even bigger boots now.)

Big LEGO(R) Ambulance Driver

Painted for an international customer, on commission; based on number 50 of the Minifigures on Canvas series - as shown above left. Her head was too big, so I changed the painting - as seen above left.
