Join me in my French studio this week as I finally finish all the paintings I have been doing inspired by a visit to Honfleur earlier in the year. These form part of my River Series of paintings for 2023, which will be on show as part of an exhibition in November in Chiswick, London.

So much has been happening in my studio this week, and also out and about!

I have finished a large abstract painting, started a medium sized one - I've got one painting in an exhibition in Sheffield and another delivered to the AKA Gallery in Cambridge!

And to top all that, I have been long listed for the VAA Professional Artists Awards 2023, so a fantastic week all round! Watch here to see what a week in the life of an artist looks like!

As usual, the week has been packed with painting, both out and about en plein air and in the studio.  The result is three paintings finished and ready for framing, as well as the three plant pots painted and ready for their plants!

You can also see that I have finally begun to tackle the large abstract painting inspired by my visit to Honfleur way back in January!!

Join me here for a whistle stop tour of the week, and to see the three paintings inspired by Sunbury On Thames, with a view of the Middle Thames Yacht Club.  These will form part of my November launch of my River series  - more details on that to be confirmed closer to the time.

Following on from last week's visit to Sunbury on Thames I have begun the three paintings inspired by this visit. With a particular focus on the Middle Thames Yacht Club at Sunbury, these paintings are beginning to take shape. Watch here for a glimpse of how they develop.

This week I travel to my French Studio and take in some en plein air painting by the side of the River Thames in Sunbury on Thames for inspiration for my large abstract river paintings.

Join me for a whistle stop tour of a week in the life of an abstract artist.

It's been a busy week this week. Not only have I finished 4 paintings but I have also got them framed too! From Rydal Mount in Cumbria to Richmond Lock and Weir in London, the paintings are as varied as the locations. Large, small, abstract and representational paintings - there really is something for everyone this week!

Interested in how I make my abstract paintings?

Want to see more of the process?

Join me here for a busy week in my studio as I get cracking with my large abstract landscape inspired by Richmond Lock and Weir as well as starting a small abstract and a medium sized oil painting as well.

This week I am in my studio, working on several paintings at one time, which is always my preference. From Rydal Mount to Richmond Lock, and from traditional landscape to abstract landscape, I am enjoying having the time to spend on painting, and thinking creatively all week!

This week I have taken a bit of time out of making my large abstract oil paintings and I am out and about at the University of Cumbria Degree Show on the Brampton Road in Carlisle. From Graphic Design, to Photography and Fine Art, this show has something for everyone and is definitely worth a visit.
