Landmark Arts Fair

Find us this week at the fabulous Landmark Arts Centre for the Landmark Spring Arts Fair in Teddington, London. We are on stall 67 with a range of my original paintings, from the largest down to the smallest, so lots of affordable art. There are also many other fantastic artists and makers here so really is something for everyone. Please come along if you can. But this isn't where we started the week - in fact, we began our art journey this week literally in another country - with a trip to beautiful Scotland - specifically Kirkudbright in the South West of Scotland. Known as an artist's town, Kirkudbright has an inspirational bay and I spent the morning painting en plein air in Jock Bay, working in my sketchbook in readiness for my next painting of 2024.
