I went wreath making recently to raise money for the Community fridge at the Baptist church, where, funnily enough, I had my first ever Exhibition in 2021...
Yesterday, we had a very interesting tour backstage at the Marlowe theatre...

After supper, we then watched the pantomime called "Beauty and the Beast".

This was a very enjoyable experience, cleverly done and genuinely funny with some excellent performances by the cast.

I think it is only the second pantomime I have ever been to. As such, I went along with no expectations. That said, I can definitely recommend "Beauty and the Beast". If you get the chance to go, go!

Do you know that I never use black paint in my watercolour painting? 

I mix deep, rich colours like ultramarine blue, burnt sienna, and deep green to create darker shades. This approach gives a more vibrant and natural depth to shadows and darker areas, avoiding the flatness that pure black can sometimes bring. Using these blends of colours allows for more subtle tones that black cannot achieve.

I was delighted to welcome Revd Chris Johnson to Eight Squared gallery yesterday. Like me, Revd Chris is new in town....

Funnily enough, he got married recently in our local church, St. Stephen’s, Canterbury (which I have painted no less than four times in the course of the year)....He seemed to really like my watercolours...

I wish him every success in his new post at St Mary & St Eanswythe C.of E. Church in Folkestone, CT20 1SW

Frog painting with glaze on tile, the first painting medium that inspired me to create art in years. I now favour watercolours, which are less forgiving than glaze but more predictable. Look how much the colour changes from the glaze after firing in the kiln!

These poppyseeds were painted to mark one of the first stages of my daughter's pregnancy- in December 2019 my grandson Ray was the size of a poppyseed!

My favourite Pixar film is Finding Nemo, so that was my inspiration for this watercolour made in early December 2019.
My first watercolour in 16 years became mixed media, using acrylics for the background. Dec 2019. Subject is my 13 year old dog Lottie.
