Chances, Decisions and Possibilities As I continue on with my treatment for breast cancer, I can’t help but think about how things happen and why. Also how it is approached and presented to you by the medical profession. At the […]
Today of all days was a good day to visit London. Out of the shock and horror of events on Wednesday emerged a palpable sense of solidarity, caring, love and hope. Walking through Trafalgar Square after my visit to the […]
Three weeks since my last post – where has the time gone?! I have been working as hard as I possibly can and I have felt my work taking on the desire for a genuine change in direction, a fairly […]
Exploring colour, form and painting techniques in figurative and abstract art.
I’ve been working on this portrait of Emma Watson for a little while, but I don’t seem to be getting very far with it. I started off painting with brushes, and I just wasn’t enjoying it. So I found some […]
