We are getting to the end of the 2023 Wylye Valley Art Trail
70+ artists in this part of the world (West Wiltshire) take part and I'm exhibiting in my studio with two other artists, Alex Davies and Chris Topham. It's the 4th time we've done it and it is huge fun. The show runs from April 29th to May 8th so if you are in this part of the world you would be very welcome to come and see our paintings. Or you can see mine by clicking on the link below:

Gardening and painting
Painting:
I came to painting relatively late in life (aged 47) and I still suffer from imposter syndrome. When a painting goes badly, it makes me weep - but when it goes well, I feel alive!
Gardening:
I find gardening uncannily similar to painting - except there are several other people holding the brush as well as me - nature, weather, or the inclinations of the plant itself! Eight years ago our garden was 'a blank canvas' but now it's good enough to open for the National Garden Scheme. Getting to that stage has been huge fun - and quite hard work!
In 2023 we will be opening for the National Garden Scheme on June 11th. You can see some photos of what our garden looks like in early June by clicking on the link below:
