Wednesday 16 May and on duty in the Purbeck Artisan Yard, Church Street, Wareham. Well some rain so visitors are few and far between but great to chat with and some nice purchases by them. I have taken down the pieces I want for Rollington or my home studio and these will go in the …
So, it’s Tuesday evening. My only art work today around a shift at my boat hand job has been the start of my hanging plan for the studio. I wasn’t sure whether to work in the snow or on chronology. I have decided to go with the second and track the development of AndyKnillArt from …
One of my favourite subjects to draw because of the detail involved in the construction are Cornish Pilot rowing gigs. Each year in May the World championships are held in the Isles of Scilly.

Last week I was out in Wareham before the snow stopped everything and Anne and I dropped into The Purbeck Artisan Yard to see what was happening as I had heard several new artists were getting involved. Now I had a guest wall appearance in November that was good exposure but not a sales success. …
So my second year as an Open Studio in Purbeck Art Weeks from May 26 to June 07. So far, I have worked on my web profile and submitted my brochure information. Today I have proof read and given corrections for my entry and how to better show my location on the PAW venue map. …
So 31 January marked a whole year as AndyKnillArt. I had investigated and come up with the name in November 2016 about the time I had a breakdown and left teaching. I wasn’t in the right headspace so came back to it. AndyKnillArt is different from my keeping sketchbooks for mindfulness. I was sticking my …
