Aplogies for such a long absence - been doing some restructuring!
I’ll be back with a new website and blog(s) in the new year and this Tumblr will revert to it’s old magazine format.
If you are subscribed to my email feed you’ll receive posts from the new blog automatically. For everyone else, I’ll post the new URL here.
Until then, wishing you all peace and happiness for this festive season.

I finally got back into the studio yesterday; it felt like coming home after my longer-than-expected absence.
If there was any possibility that I might continue working on this pair of paintings, it has long gone and I have designated them as finished and am ready to move on.
I’m continuing to work in the same vein – using found materials and texture to interpret the landscape around me – but, since it will be a while before I can make the necessary trip to buy good quality ‘gallery wrap’ canvases (the kind I now realise I need for this kind of work due to warping issues using normal canvases like these) I’m going to work on a series of 9 or 12 smaller boards to hang together as a rearrangeable piece.

Mari Andrews
Two for One!
The inclusion of objects into my artwork found during daily rambles is becoming my main ‘modus operandi’, so I was thrilled to discover this wonderful artist, Mari Andrews – who’s work is a definite inspiration for where I’m at.
As if this wasn’t enough joy to start my day, by way of Mari (and The Vintaquarian), I was simultaneously brought to this FANTASTIC blog: In the Make comprised entirely of interviews with artists’ in their studios and accompanied by deliciously crisp photographs. A must have on your RSS feed!
