Some snapshots below of the wonderful exhibition featuring 'The Arborealists' currently displayed at St Ives Society of Artists Mariners Gallery.
Make sure to visit if you get a chance as this show is a 'stunner'.  I have enclosed quite a few pics for those who are unable to attend, but there's so much more to see and nothing takes the place of actually being there.  Enjoy.

Summer whizzes by - and what a summer (temporarily supplanted by wind and much needed rain) the long balmy days and heat have been wonderful.  Hope the good times return soon! 
Because life has been so busy, blog posts have been far and few between, so this looks to be another 'bumper crop' of my small paintings in oil on board.  Showing the most recent first.
