New and diverse work.

I'm currently enjoying a mixture of style and subject matter in my painting and drawing. Working on a commission that captures idyllic days way-back-when, that is proving to be great fun. I'm also experimenting with acrylic inks and pens in landscape paintings and general sketching. Feeling inspired by the improved weather and summer almost here.

Dad

I am currently dealing with the most painful experience of my life so far, that of losing my dad. He died on the 28th April after a period of deteriorating health over a number of years. I will miss him dreadfully and life without him seems inconceivable just now.

Loss!

Such a sad time. After a two week stay in hospital my lovely dad passed away on 28th April. He will be deeply missed by all the family and was the very best dad I could ever have wished for, a fact shared by both my sisters. Sketching is the one activity that has helped control my sadness. I shared a lovely day with mum and elder sister, Barbara in the lovely Bodnant Gardens on a beautiful sunny day, took lots of photo's and have a few sketches to show.
