"Have Palette, Will Travel" - Meet the Artist - THANK YOU!
It was a great pleasure to see so many friends and family who stayed to chat and create a lovely buzz and and to meet new people who turned up yesterday at the 'Meet the Artist' session. It was a huge surprise that so many people came along and I was sorry not to be able to offer food and drink as the event was held in library hours. Thank you for making the effort to come it was greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoyed meeting friends old and new again as much as I did.

"Have Palette, Will Travel" - Hastings by Moonlight
Some years ago Cristiana and I had a lovely holiday in Hastings. Although I have not completed many 'moonlight' paintings they are some of my favourite works, especially the eerie night scenes of Samuel Palmer. With this painting, 'Hastings by Moonlight' (on show in the exhibition "Have Palette, Will Travel") I used my artistic licence to paint in the daytime and add the moonlight after!

"Have Palette, Will Travel" - Alpine Mist (print)
In the 1970's we had many happy holidays in Bavaria staying in the flat of some good friends in Mittenwald. The mountains were close by and we went on many walks. The painting below was made sitting on a mountain path where everything seemed to happen at once; low cloud suddenly appeared, a lizard ran across my foot and a butterfly alighted on my shoulder!

'Have Palette, Will Travel' - Tower Pier
In the early 1960's I wanted to make a drawing of the cannons that used to be located on Tower Pier by the Tower of London. I was waiting until the children had gone but they were having so much fun that the family decided to sit down and have their lunch so they all ended up being in the drawing too!
Tower Pier 1962 Pencil drawing, size 372 x 300mm £320

'Have Palette, Will Travel' - Jump for Joy!
I like to sometimes focus on a detail in a landscape. 'Jump for Joy' is a watercolour painting based on a sketch I made of a tree. The location now escapes me but it had a striking profile and appeared to be dancing!
'Jump for Joy', framed mixed media, 600 x 480mm, £495
