Fitzy knew when we agreed the two paintings that I’m currently doing for him that if I had other deadline commissions, that they would take precedence over the timing for his artwork, and was happy with that possibility. The only reason I said it was because I knew the artwork that I’m doing for Fitzy […]
After starting the working painting for Fitzy the other week, and not being entirely happy with it, I re-started the second “working painting” soon after and was able to finish it this week. So, since I was happy with it, I now hoped that he would be! So, I sent him the image and awaited […]
These abstracts are paintings I did at the end of last year but I thought you’d like to see them, since I’m in the process of putting them on my website. They are all an exploration onto shape and colour and all have something interesting going on within the painting I think. The first one […]
Can you paint a sound? I can. I know, because I did it yesterday! I attended an art workshop, and all I knew was it was going to be “landscape in mixed media”. Sounds quite exciting. But I was wrong……………………… It was VERY exciting!!! The woman who ran the day workshop was very arty, and […]

Since Fitzy and I discussed the “living flame” style of picture I’m going to paint of him I’ve been itching to get started on it, and thought it would be easy enough since I’ve already done one, and done it only a few months ago, so the technique of it is still fresh in my […]
After a busy week last week it was good to go to the pub at the weekend. I’ve not been for a couple of weeks so was looking forward to catching up with friends and friendly faces. The minute I walked through the door, I spied a guy and his wife I’ve not seen for […]
It was good to finally meet Fitzy this week after many emails back and forth and a few phone calls inbetween. I’d got a clearish few of him as a person, and a clear idea of what artwork he wanted from me, and a feeling about his thoughts regarding it. And I knew he was […]
