"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!

Hastings by Moonlight. Watercolour & Gouache, size 595 x 400mm (framed and mounted) £495

Below is another of my moonlight works (though not on show in this exhibition as it has sold).

'New Moon, New City' - sold
