Now mid way through the 2019 St Ives September Festival, on Saturday 21st September St Ives Society of Artists held its annual 'Square Deal' fundraiser offering members of the public an opportunity to buy a piece of original art for £50!
I was delighted (and relieved) to be present, when a buyer chose my submission 'Beach, Tranquil Sea' below.

Prior to visiting Stisa, there was just time to pop into Porthmeor Studios, Back Road West, St Ives to view 'Spot the Artist' 2019. Organised by St Ives Rotary the show included around 400 anonymous postcard sized artworks donated by over 300 artists, many of whom are very well known.  Sa…

So nice to post fairly early in September, which hopefully compensates for the fact that I didn't blog last month!  Always a busy time to be an artist in St Ives (and that's not a complaint, thanks to all who buy my work) this August saw visits from both daughters, son-in-law and dogs, plus a lovely reunion/get-together of sorts, with the upshot that all painting projects were suspended for around 2 weeks!  Wouldn't have missed it though and the weather was pretty good too.
Normal service resumed eventually and here some new and older works.
I have also been working on some slightly larger paintings in oil on hardboard, some of which are already at the framers and will provide content for a future post x
