A Print Win Story
Cassie won my Print Giveaway last May! Discover her story in her own words, revealing why this Dinky Aston Martin painting was so special to her.
Some of you may remember last May I ran a special giveaway to celebrate the print launch of my Dinky Aston Martin painting.
Well, Cassie was the lucky winner and here she shares her experience of receiving the print and why it was so special to her.
I only do a couple of these print giveaways a year and the last one is coming up next week, so keep your eyes peeled!
Happy Friday hopping to you all!
Final Day of Studio Sale - Putney Boats
My studio sale ends tonight, so I am spotlighting an ‘evening’ themed painting of Putney boats at dusk. Read on to find out more about this artwork and further details about my sale.
STUDIO SALE ENDS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT
My last highlight for this sale sequence is my painting of Putney Boats, Evening (oil on canvas board, 8 x 10 inches)
These boats are part of a lovely cluster, moored off the riverside quarter pier, right next to my local Wandsworth park.
Silhouetted against the fading evening light, the view looks out across the river toward the Hurlingham club and harbour.
I have painted these boats from many angles, times of day and tides, but this evening scene played with a very different palette of colour, where less was more and everything was focused around that extraordinary shift between the dwindling natural light of day and the introduction of these fairy-like glimmers of electric light which danced in reflections across the water.

The Other Side of Richmond Bridge
With 3 days to go before the end of my studio sale, today I am highlighting another version of Richmond Bridge, seen from a different angle and painted with an alternative palette. Read on for the full story behind this painting.
STUDIO SALE SPOTLIGHT - 4 DAYS TO GO
Today I am looking at a variation on yesterday's theme on Richmond Bridge. Presenting Richmond Bridge, Blue Tones [oil on canvas, 33.7 x 17.5 cm framed]
Having walked along and under Richmond bridge, this was the view from the south side looking north. So whilst the other side of the bridge was ablaze with sunshine, this side was awash in cool and refreshing shadows.
Again I emphasized the colour contrasts and palette, picking out and the colour harmonies of blues and oranges, reds and greens.
These paintings of Richmond bridge were conceived together and I like to think of them as two sides of a coin, echoing two moods, perhaps two states of mind.
Which one do you prefer?

Final Week of Studio Sale
My studio sale online shop is fully up and running for one more week - sale ends at midnight on Sunday 6th February. Today I talk about a featured collection of paintings inspired by the Riverscapes and bridges of south west London.
Happy to report my Online STUDIO SALE shop is now fully stocked!
You've seen the toy animal paintings, but now you can also view a collection of riverscapes inspired by Southwest London, aka my stomping ground.
These paintings were done as a series a few years ago and have a slightly different quality to my more recent work.
It was a time when I was really experimenting with crazy colours and playing with mood. They are all summertime pieces, so hopefully bring a bit of sunshine in!
I'm curious to know what you think of them as I may explore more landscapes / riverscapes this year.
As always I welcome your comments & suggestions.
