The launch of this website is wonderfully exciting. Life was whizzzing past so fast, that I decided the website I always intended to have must be made now, or it might never be. And I think it looks fantastic, I’m sure you will agree.

At the same time painting and drawing has become a huge part of my life, swamping out other things I used to spend my time on, and filling up all the little gaps at the edges of my daily routines. My mind is constantly dwelling on design, composition and medium; my eyes zooming in on pattern, play of light, colour and tone.

With the June exhibition fast approaching, a sense is coming upon me of being specially blessed – undeservedly bestowed with an opportunity I used to think I was only allowed to dream of. I am humbled by it, secretly wondering whether I really should dare to put myself out there in the public gaze quite that much.

But what good is a dream that is unfulfilled? And few will criticise the man who dares to realise one.
So, I will simply keep charging on, focussing, with brushes and palettes in hand, on the vision directly ahead of me.
