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 …
Art weeks, work to sell, … yesterday I just sketched for the sake of sketching. I also took some photos that I might draw from at a later date. My current main sketchbook started back in November 2017. By now I would expect to have finished at least two sketchbooks based on previous output. These …
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, 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 …

Otherwise, I mowed some of the grass, snoozed mid afternoon in my chair, raked up some grass, topped up the water bowls, kept the peace between two Phils (pheasants). I sketched a bit. The most …
Well, an early start today. Not intentionally but woke at 04:00 and never managed to get back to sleep. Having this sort of view makes it a joy. Early thundery showers cleared and the day became absolutely gorgeous and definitely a beach day so I as not surprised to see no people for a long …
So, Thursday. Not a work day, my big free day to get the studio ready or almost or whatever I get to tbh. 8 pictures up and a realisation that I have so much art where can I put it all. Today was a day inspired by invention – two new hanging systems used based …
