Had so much fun painting the first two artworks (shown below) which were prompted by the fear that continual painting in oil on small boards was making my work too tight.

Sunshine this evening after some cloudy and damp conditions today, which is very welcome. As were the almost tropical conditions over last weekend and earlier in the week - warmth from early morning, blue skies and balmy evenings - wonderful. I have been busy getting one or two larger paintings framed, wrapping prints for display at Art Space Gallery, St Ives printing cards - and creating more small, square artworks (see below).

'Mixed May' is as good a way of describing this month so far, as the weather changes radically from day to day - sometimes hour by hour.  May is such a lovely month though, trees and flowers are bursting into life, a profusion of fresh colours and new greens - especially when the sun shines! All of the framed square paintings shown below can be found at Art Space Gallery, St Ives with the exception of 'The Beach in May' which will arrive in the next few days.   The rectangular paintings are awaiting a trip to the framers, to be mounted prior to delivery to the browsers at St Ives Society of Artists Mariners Gallery.
