Article in 'The Artist' magazine


I can almost hear the shower of gravel on your driveways as you leap into your cars and speed down to your nearest discerning newsagent and buy your copy of the Summer edition of 'The Artist' magazine, in which yours truly is in conversation with Caroline Saunders. The article shows 6 examples of my work, with one error being the wrong title and medium for 'Swan Family', which should read 'Ugly Ducklings' and is a Pastel, not an Oil painting.

My village exhibition was a success and I would like to say a big thank you to all you lovely people who came from near and far to see and buy my work.  We managed to sneak away for a cream tea in the village hall during a lull, manned (or is it womanned) as ever by the stalwart ladies of the village who had made a superb variety of very low calorie sticky cakes, mmmmmmmmmmmm

  1. sticky cakes, biscuits etc have no calories if eaten standing up (at the easel) so no problems there :-)

    I'm a cheapskate and only read magazines online - will I be able to see the article?

  2. Glad all went well for you and as Sue mentioned sticky cakes could lead to texture. I will have to look out for the mag as I only subscribe to Leasure Painter and the SAA mag. Anyway as always best wishes. Ve

    1. Hi Carole,
      Thanks for your kind comments! Lvis's owners had to call him a name beginning with L according to his pedigree, so I thought Lvis as he had such a fine quiff!
