I was thrilled to attend the Dovecote Street Art Open in Amble and view three of my pieces which made the cut. It was a well presented exhibition and can be viewed until June 7th.

I have been busy in the studio looking to get paintings finished for my exhibition ‘On The Edge’ at Alnwick Playhouse in September.
My ‘Low Newton’ painting is my most recently started work and I have been aiming to get the tonal values right before adding all the local colours. It still needs a lot more work but I am pleased with it so far. I like thee freshness of the finish.

‘Turquoise Caravan, Birling Carr’ is a painting that started out as a digital painting using ProCreate and has proved a challenge. Do I copy the digital image or like when I paint from a photograph how closely do i copy the photographic image? I have decided to use the digital image has just a starting point and see where it goes. I will find out in a month or so if I am right.
‘Turquoise Caravan, Birling Carr’ This work in progress will hopefully be an important part of my forthcoming exhibition at the Alnwick Playhouse
My third painting that I have been working on ‘Bamburgh Sky’ is still a work in progress but is much closer to being finished than the two paintings i have already mentioned. This image is closer to a postcard view than I usually use but the dramatic sky counteracts that I hope.
‘Bamburgh Sky’ I started this nearly eight months ago and hopefully it is nearing completion now
Next week I intend to decide on a date when I stop painting and start mounting and framing the paintings and drawings for the ‘On The Edge” exhibition at the Alnwick Playhouse.
