Since I started the idea of selling my art at the end of January 2017 I have been exposed to more examples of art as I meet many other artists in Purbeck and across Dorset, plus other artists using Instagram and Facebook globally. I enjoy this. There will be pieces I admire but not have …
A week where energy was in short supply on Monday. Thursday I was on duty at Purbeck Artisan Yard and had a few friends who dropped in to have a go with the pens. The main art event of the week has been completing the commission I received in PAW. The image has been approved …
Yes, I missed day 16 as a blog post but to be honest by the end of the afternoon and collecting in my Street direction signs from Corfe Castle up to the village and track I was just exhausted. So I thought this post could be about summarising what PAW 2019 has been for me; …
2 ……… Well, penultimate day and the weather is sunny, just the 40+ mph winds put a slight dampener on the day. I got to sit outside most of the day except when showing visitors around. One dog today who was a return visitor – nervous but accepted their dog treat. Sales wise a good …

Yes, I now realise that yesterday I posted it as day eight for the second day running. So a dry forecast and high UV, prepared with sun cream and sat in the shade, unfortunately the breeze meant I got a bit cold. A new sign to go outside to give more information, maybe a paragraph …
A misty start and a forecast for rain possibly later. I only had one visitor before midday – Pamela from Swanage, we had a good chat and hot drink and she also walked out to the of the Tout and back and was able to report back about limited views. Numbers seemed to be settling …
