……..and finally a word from the artist after a long break from updating this site. Contributing to exhibitions, caravan tours in search of warmer weather and commitments on our return have impeded my ability enter a post.

I am very flattered to have observed a constant flow of emails indicating a lot of traffic on this web-site/blog of late …and so it is important for me to let readers/viewers know how I have been progressing.

Back in May, the Marion Art Group’s exhibition at the Colonnades Shopping Centre was a great success, and I was thrilled to sell the five pieces below.

So  Sharon and I set out for  Alice Springs, at  the beginning of June, in high spirits and enjoyed the magnificent terrain in the red centre. The second half of this holiday was to  Hervey Bay,  lower Queensland , where of course our divergent Australian landscape was different again. I managed to complete a total of four small pieces whilst away and sold one on location at Hastings Point, NSW to the caravanner parked next door to us.

Now I am trying to prepare for MAG’s  Marion Shopping Centre Exhibition in October. With some home renovations happening at the moment it is hard to find quality time to devote to art , but hopefully I will come up with some new paintings for at least  part of  my contribution to this exhibition.
