July – Away on course

Just a reminder that any orders placed via the online shop during the period 8th July to 15th July 2017 will not be dispatched until Monday the 17th July when I return from the Bridge House Art Summers School, week long course Tidelines: Experimental Printmaking I’m really looking forward to the week, the tutor is the fabulous Kittie Jones – who was tutoring on the Seabird Drawing Week that I participated in recently.

Apologies for any inconvenience. I should be able to check my emails while i’m away though I will be out working in the field for 8+ hours a day – If you email I will get back to you as soon as I can!

 

Seabird Drawing with the SWLA

I now have a week and a bit to catch up on things before heading off to the mainland on the 16th June for the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) Seabird Drawing. I’ll be based at Aberlady Bay and am looking forward to working with some of my very favourite artists: Kittie Jones, Greg Poole, Darren Woodhead and Kim Atkinson. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about going on this course (excited and terrified at the same time haha!). It will be a very intensive week as there will probably be 8 hours a day in the field and then evening sessions back at base but I know that I will learn a massive amount.

So, watch this space for how I get along, I hope to upload some of my field sketches and photos from the trip – hopefully the sea will be calm for the trip out to the Bass Rock!

Back at the desk

Well, I arrived back in Uist late on Friday evening. Orders received via my website during my holiday have been dispatched via first class mail today – apologies for the delay – thanks for your patience ladies and gents

Had a fabulous end of season break. Managed two full day printmaking workshops with the fabulous Jenny Gunning at Shropshire Fine Art in Ironbridge. I hope to do two more next time i’m down visiting family. While I was in Norfolk I did a two day art course with Steve Cale which was very enjoyable.

I visited London – only the fourth time in the last thirty years  Went to the private view of the NOA exhibition and it was great to see my photo “The Way” hung with all the fabulous art. Even better I sold the framed print and two un-mounted prints, with another order being received as well – only 5 of the edition of 10 left now.
