Andrew Bryant's email to 'everyone' has prompted me to blog on…
This time of year is so difficult for me… working all year round in all weathers, now is the time when amateur landscapers come out of the woodwork.
It's 'All meant to be' I keep reminding myself. I've had time to reflect, arrange my pictures for Salzburg, design crates and find a local shipping agent who doesn't charge anything like DHhell.
Just been invited (along with thousands of others) to apply for the Saatchi 'Best of British' to be televised for the BBC later in the year.
I look forward to watching the Sir Alan Sugar of the art world influencing fashionable art.
Not for me…

swain n. A country lad, especially a young shepherd. Young lover. A beau. Lover of the country. [Middle English, young man, servant, from Old Norse sveinn.]
After a lightning visit to Salzburg to meet the gallery owner who invited me to exhibit in her gallery this July…and after a little negotiation of the contract…I'm looking forward to being represented by this forward thinking and dynamic new gallery owner…always a risk, but I want to be positive.
Totally shattered from building brick raised beds in the snow and looking forward to being in a financial position to paint full-time again…nice thought anyway…
…updated website…new prices…
'Graham's response to landscape is contemplative. Creation becomes a challenge as every mark is considered as the aesthetic process unravels towards sublime resolution. Graham's preoccupations are undoubtedly formal, but his technique relies on more than simply a conscious arrangement of shape and colour. Graham aims to intuitively distil the essence of his visual experience in a much more unlimited way. Landscape provides the ideal motif; unrestricted by figures or buildings, an exploration is permitted which ultimately pervades pure creation.' Sally-Ann Schilling.
