On Tuesday after a trip away I got to drop off an original piece I had framed from Purbeck Art Weeks, its new owner was very pleased with it. Today I have had an email that another client who let me keep a framed print up until the end of PAW18 will be down in …
I have drawn two types of gig since I started my artwork. The first is the Cornish Pilot Gig, a traditional clinker built wooden rowing boat that has its own class for competition and a growing number of clubs in the UK and across the world. The second is drawing while at gigs -music events. …
Well last week seemed quite long as we kept busy. As the last post said I had gone out and bought frames for original pieces bought by clients who had asked for a specific frame design I have used previously. Before our friends came to visit for the evening I had started framing the pieces. …
Well, PAW18 finished yesterday, I took my signs down in the village and slowed down last night. This morning was collection time of unsold work and earnings from Rollington Barn. Also an opportunity to chat with other participants, enjoy a coffee and some Dorset apple cake. Several conversations soon descended into swapping names of suppliers …
The weather was good and in fact got brighter as the day went on. A busy day for visitors and an original sold on the last day. I admit as I type this post that tiredness has kicked in. I started the day by adjusting some of my signs so that I had signposted the …
A day of warmth, then rain threatened, then warmth again. Over the day the studio had 22 visitors and now only needs 4 visitors on Sunday to equal the 252 from 2017.

The sun came out, it was dry and plans for paperwork disappeared very quickly. I started my studio day slightly early and tidied up my workspace. Then I decided to add some hand -coloured cards as the others had all sold. When I first ordered cards last year I produced several pen and ink in …
A good day. Slightly wet at first this morning but after I had already seen a young hare and a deer behind our garden I went into Swanage to post the commission piece. Back at the studio I cut some grass and took some photos of a bee entering a foxglove -not the best pics …
Sunnier, hot at times, had to move chair into the shade even. A pretty quiet morning but things picked up this afternoon and 14 visitors with 5 dogs, so treats early and given out. Two of my visitors were fellow PAW artists – Lisa Stockley and Jessamy K. Lots of compliments about my work, our …
A dry day but breezier, cloud cover and cooler. What would today bring? In the end a number of people out walking -33 visitors, 3 dogs and some purchases. The key joy today was sharing my art with others, talking technique and media. I started the day working on a 6″ by 4″ sailing commission …
