Rolling Clouds

I’m back! Despite tennis (painters) elbow and the small matter of cataract surgery - I’m back in the studio and gently working my way back in. The golds.. the plums and yellows and dark Misty blues. Some are done, some are not. Rolling along into spring @wimbledon_art_studios #londonartist #abstractlandscape #bigskies #wimbledoncommon ... See MoreSee Less

The human world is not in great shape these days. It is hard to explain to my children what is going on, that the ‘grown ups’ seem to be having a hard time to even speak with respect to each other. Our natural world has never ever looked so beautiful. #peace ... See MoreSee Less

Years ago I used to take photos of my fellow travellers in the tube.. whilst heading north on the Piccadilly line last weekend I saw these beautiful faces. I used to paint them too 😁 #londonlife #londonundergroundphotography ... See MoreSee Less

da Vinci drew thousands of faces of people he saw in public and when painting he would flip through his notbooks for faces to paint in his pictures x

Last one from @freshartfair for now, here we are @sarahrutherfordart and I, at work (painting in public - well that’s different, slap me up with a happy little painting and call me Bob Ross!) as I was in such a different place, I painted some very figurative little clouds! Why not hey? I have paintings to deliver, thankyous to send and slowly unpacking and regrouping back into my usual rhythms.. happy Monday @wimbledon_art_studios #slowdown #backtonormal ...

Here goes.. a month (near enough) ago, whilst looking through my favourite people here, the latest update from Niall at @wearehappydoggo he introduced to the world a tiny white dog, who had been horribly treated, he did what he does, he scooped her up and gave her a chance. He called her Alba, a beautiful name (sunrise in Italian), for a little girl with a big heart and batty ears. She was skin and bone, very sick and so very full of love. For 14 days she walked with Niall and Hank the dog nurse to the top of their little hill to see the sun rise, pure joy. She did not see a 15th sunrise. This painting was created during that time, and is dedicated to her beautiful memory. I said if I sold it I would donate some money to the dog hospital. The painting is off to a beautiful family, complete with another little soul, also called Alba, a human one. Thankyou for everything you do @wearehappydoggo Niall, keeping the street dogs of your island community in Thailand safer and fed. Thumper, Twix, Britney and all the dogs (Grumpy is my favourite), keep pushing. #streetdogs #bekind ... See MoreSee Less

Beautiful. Rest in peace sweet Alba.

Amazing. Alba was quite something, and her love of sunrises was heart warming. A beautiful painting for a beautiful soul xx

A wonderful first day at @freshartfair in Alexandra Palace, met some super people, lots of art lovers and 3 paintings off to their forever homes, including ‘Light smiled, and smiled and smiled’ for Alba (more on this painting in another post later in the weekend, and this Wimbledon Common landscape ‘And when she shines’. Thankyou 🙏 OH and lastly - final slide - Yeap I’m painting, live and unleashed at the fair! Apologies @sarahrutherfordart for any splashyness 🤣 @yourallypally #wimbledoncommon #londonartist ...

PS Maybe I could commission you to paint Ally Pally for me??? (Obviously a painting of, and not Alexandra Palace itself 😂🤣)

Oh how I wish I was at Ally Pally ❤️ I was born and raised a 2 minute walk from there ❤️💕❤️💕❤️
