Saltaire Arts Trail
I’m very excited about this years Saltaire Arts trail. I’m exhibiting at 19 Titus Street with the photographer Martin Priestley. It is just over a month away, over the first May bank holiday weekend: I’m going to be allowed out – CHILD FREE! – for some of it to help with the exhibition. I’ve been […]

Bridge Lanes
The lanterns keep hitting technical difficulties, so I’ve been making the use of the warmer weather to work on some new things. The front of Bridge Lanes faces the main road and is in the shade. But look at the back! It’s bathed in sunlight almost all day. My friend took the twins to the […]

More Lanterns…
I have been doing other things, but this is the project that’s been keeping me awake in the early hours of the morning. The twins have been sleeping fine! I now have three lanterns that I want to develop: The first is Albert Street in Hebden Bridge. The final design has bunting in the window […]

Twinkling lights
Robin, who should be asleep, is shuffling around under the desk. He keeps turning off the computer. But when the twins have slept these past couple of weeks, this is what I have been playing with: I have a second scene painted and intend to play with cutting it over Christmas. But this is the […]

Autumn colours and lanterns
I’m so enjoying the colours of the trees the last few weeks. They’re incredible! Though I know a gusty weekend will strip the trees bare and leave the landscape monochrome til spring. I’ve been taking the new paintings out to capture the colours. I was sat by the river yesterday with some hot chocolate, some […]

Starting some new ideas…
With a date in mind – all be it a long way off – I have started some new work while the sun is shining and the leaves are turning. I’ve started two of the views from the other side of the valley, down accross Market street with, what Hattie and I call, the Madeline […]

Whitby
I know this has taken me a long time because on the first of the sketching trips to Whitby Hattie was potty training (August Bank holiday weekend with the portable potty. It was very stressful) and she started Reception last week! Anyway – here it is… This is a commission for a lovely person who […]

A hot date
Phil and Sue at The Calder Gallery have been making me cups of tea and cuddling my twins lots over the last 9 months and as I’m gradually returning to work we’ve been discussing a solo exhibition. September 2012 gives me a nice long time! But I must start now. Though there’s not been much […]

I finished a painting!
The last seven months have flown by and have been mostly wonderful. Now the twins can sit up and eat proper food and much of the time I marvel at my suddenly vast family! Back in September I started a commission for a lady who wanted me to paint her garden, with the best bits […]

Saltaire Arts Trail
Since exchanging half of my brain for these very beautiful babies, I am very proud to have managed to put together enough work to take part in the Saltaire Arts Trail that takes place this weekend. I set up my small display this morning at 10, Edward Street. A small and perfectly formed house only […]
