…just completed another garden project. The chap I employ is an experienced landscaper and a champion bodybuilder with muscles on his muscles on his muscles…he's French Canadian, in the RN for five years firing BFG's (big *ucking guns), escort to Prince Andrew for a short while and a real character. At the end of the day in a garden, I'm exhausted…and he's off to the gym to pump more iron!
When I'm creating a painting, the line I paint may appear only to be a simple innocent mark, but the decision process involved to simplify this line becomes more and more complex as each day passes…

Thank you Lottie Curry for your very kind invitation to your degree show. I am touched.
I have emailed you…
Everything is on hold…my father-in-law has had a major heart attack. For the moment we are not selling or renting but staying here and carrying on with our lives…it's the right thing to do.
It's been a roller-coaster ride for us for two months, continually adapting to situations…all out of our control.
Time again to reflect and plan for our future…
I will need to approach suitable galleries here in the UK and I'll still be painting in France and here in Southsea.
…and I'm very fortunate to have Emily, a respected journalist, as my personal editor!?
