A week to go. So I was meant to head out early this morning for some errands, slept in after being awake at 5. Into Swanage where I took photographs of the sea mist and kayak fishermen out in the bay. Also Open rowing at Swanage Sea Rowing Club where I completed my errand. I …
Today, May 3rd is my Dad’s birthday. Unfortunately he passed away on Christmas morning last year, to allow time for reflection today I decided to do something we both enjoyed – our Art. Michael Knill drew from schooldays and in retirement started to reuse his art skills to produce several watercolour pieces which I have …
When I was participating in the Artisans on the Beach event in Swanage until January I thought I needed to offer a range of art smaller than my main stock of A4 and A3 pieces. I offer miniature and mini canvases with easel stands but these lack the presence of a framed piece. I hadn’t …

Yesterday I gave the background stories to the four pieces on the top row of my main display wall. Today it is the turn of the next row down – 7 mounted pieces. The two prints on their own will be dealt with later since being moved on Friday March 16th. Display and presentation of …
Like some friends online and locally I sometimes record the stages of a piece of work to remind me how it developed as a piece. I did this most notably on Facebook for my piece of the Swanage rowing regatta last June and it led to a sale before I had even finished the work. …
