I attended the private view of the Southwold Art Circle Summer Exhibition this evening , where I received my prize for the Presidents Award for Drawing. Wow, fabulous evening, so many lovely compliments, good company and the exhibition is stunning, such varied and excellent work is well worth a look.

Nothing since January. eh! That is terrible. I better remedy that. Not that I have done much work in that time, but let's see......

Importantly, to me, I have been working on portraits to show in the Southwold Art Circle Summer Exhibition. It is usually a fabulous exhibition, I recommend you go see for yourself!

Now, for the most interesting thing to happen this year, so far. I got picked to appear in Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year 2019. WooHoo! Fantastic! with this self portrait

I had a brilliant day, meeting celebrities and painting with like minded people is artist heaven. It was so fascinating to watch the process of filming a TV program. We arrived at 7.30am on a bright March day, and got to go home around 9.30pm. Long day.  

The program was broadcast on Sky Arts very quickly, and has just now been shown on Channel 4, a 

new thing for this program, to reach a wider audience. Fabulous!
