DM to buy 🖤

This March I had the chance to paint by myself in Scotland for a while. I ended up on The Isle of Skye staying a few days on Staffin Bay. It was colder and wetter than my previous trip and I had to grab painting opportunities between the hail storms. Here’s one looking north towards the area of the beach with fossil dinosaur footprints!

🎨 The Artist Support Pledge is an initiative where artists sell works at SALE prices via Instagram, at no more than £220 per item.
Once the selling artist achieves £1100 of sales they ‘pledge’ to buy from another participating artist.
During Covid lockdowns this initiative helped many artists. Times are challenging again, so I offer these studio sale items again. 🤞

📦P&P by PO or ParcelForce is additional and varies depending on location. Posted ASAP and sent signed for but delivery may be affected by strikes.

Saunders Waterford paper.

✈️ Alexandra Park in Windsor has a memorial to the Hawker Hurricane designer. I did lots of drawing and painting in the park and finished this ink off site later on.
I later took it to Windsor Art Fair with me where there were so many local people who had never noticed the plane in the park!! 🙈
I couldn’t believe it!
(..see the photo of the information board if you’d like to know more about the plane)
(Original price £450)

THANK YOU 🖤 to everyone for your kind words and likes - I will reply to you all soon x

Here I am just prior to my commission unveiling for The Cormorant Club at the Joint HCSC College Defence UK….and a few photographs of afterwards too 🥰
The commission was to mark the first 25 years of the coming together of senior military training in a joint college.
A special honour for me to be commissioned by The Cormorant Club and also have my work unveiled by The Rt Hon. James Heappy* Minister of State for the Armed Forces on last Thursday evening.
Thank you all 🖤 who have been involved in making this happen.
Thank you for sharing photographs I can share too and the opportunity to show some of the preparatory artwork alongside the main piece which you can see in the photos.
👥👥👥👥👥👥👥👥👥There were a few other people watching the unveiling too…from all over the 🌎 actually …but if you are reading this way down my post I am sure you will appreciate this work is not in an environment where I am permitted to take and post randomly.
⛰️🌊🌦️Why Cormorant’s?
They are the symbol of the joint HCSC college, chosen 25 years ago as cormorants inhabit the three operating environments of the Army, Navy and Airforce (land, sea and skies) and thus symbolically united the three services, in their new joint Defence College. Moreover in the 25 years that this bird this has been the visual representation of the joint UK venture, cormorants have proved themselves supremely successful in the UK. As creatures they are tenacious and opportunistic, adapting to the challenging environmental changes during this time and establishing the first UK successful inland breeding colony at Paxton Pits. This is quite an evolution for a creature which is primarily a costal breeder.
I felt the the visual metaphor of the cormorant was a suitable starting point. Describing and demonstrating its many stances and behaviours seemed important to suggest an ability to adjust to events. Standing sentinel across land, sea and air; I indicated approaching change and modern technology with the wind farm on the horizon, and a dark and mobile sea with various water markings suggesting potential concealed and unknown challenges.
This post is now officially too long 😉
