October has been a fun month! I finished off a few of my new paintings and got them framed in time for the exhibition at the Craft House. It was really nice to have a proper exhibition with Alison and Jo after mostly taking part in group exhibitions. The week went well and some paintings went off to their new homes, so thank you to the buyers. Read more →

I went down to the Last Anchor this morning to collect the paintings that have been hanging there since the restaurant reopened in May 2021 after the covid closures. They had garnered a lot of interest and the odd sale but I thought it was time to find them new homes and to give another artist a chance to exhibit there. I would like to thank Polly and the team there for the opportunity to display my paintings.

As these paintings have been hanging there for a while I though it only fair that I offer them for sale at a discount – so all paintings that were in the restaurant are now for sale at a 30% discount – you can see the paintings and what the prices are in my Instagram post from today:

I will have any of the paintings that are left at my stand at Art at the Beach on Saturday 10th September at Beach Street, Felixstowe. I’m really looking forward to this even and will have as many paintings there as I can fit on my railings! There will certainly be some bargains to be had as I need to clear some space in my studio!

It is going to be a busy few weeks as I also have a couple of paintings going into the Suffolk Open Studios autumn exhibition at Ferini Gallery in Pakefield which runs from 2nd to 25th September. Plus I have a painting going in to the Tostock Art show which is happening the first weekend in September.

I’m continuing to work on my abstract expressionist series and will be focussing on this rather than the fluid resin art in the future – so if you want to grab one of the fluid paintings then this is a good opportunity.

In October I will be having a joint show at The Craft House in Woodbridge together with Alison Adcock and Jo Clavier. We all create abstract art but our paintings are quite different as you would expect – so come and see a great abstract show with plenty of variety as well as smaller items like cards.
