DECEMBER 2020 update The price of my popular small, square, framed paintings -  see examples below - has increased.   The aim is to ensure a continuing display at Art Space Gallery, St Ives alongside the hope that the paintings still still offer value for money and remain affordable to anyone who wants to own one.    This photo shows some of the paintings included in the previous post Painting During the Lockdown in their frames.  With Art Space Gallery, St Ives and St Ives Society's Mariners Gallery, the main outlets for my work still closed, I have made them available for posting, Special Delivery, UK only.   Check the previous blog post for titles and please feel free to comment if interested or if you have a question.

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!

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    'Beach, Good Weather Chases the Rain Away' oil on board, 13.5 x 13.5 cm.
