Paintings selected for 'Open 25' at Montague Gallery

Two of my larger oil paintings of the stunning South Downs, that capture one of the most beautiful chalklands in England, across the seasons, have been selected! 

Each scene, starts as a sketch in situ, and then when I am back in the studio, the painting takes shape as I apply sweeping blocks of colour, to which I add numerous painterly marks, to build the complex, jewel like finished views.

I hope you can make it between the 14th and 29th June.

A chance to relax.

The cottage garden is going to be glorious, so as well as artworks in the house, sculpture in the garden, ceramic demo's in the studio, you can choose a place to sit, put your feet up and enjoy a cuppa and homemade cake. 

My special guests.

This year I have invited six skilled artisans to join me, who celebrate their love of nature through ceramics, sculptures, jewellery, stained glass and embroidery, which will be shown in the house, studio and garden.
