I have several works on show with other ROI members at the A&K Wilson Gallery in Harpenden from Sunday 28th April until Saturday May 11th. The show (titled 'Six selected members') is open on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday (private view is Sunday 28th, 11am-3pm). Do come along, it'll be a cracking show!

I'm absolutely thrilled and very proud to have been elected as a full member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. Standards are extremely high and it is a great honour to be elected. I'm really looking forward to taking an active part in the society and helping to fly the flag for oil painting!

Last week I returned from another great trip to Venice with about a dozen or so painting pals. More details are available on the blog.

Next up is the Royal Institute of Oil Painters annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London which I'm really looking forward to. I will have three paintings on show and the private view is Tuesday 11th December from 2pm. The show runs until December 23rd and more details on the Mall Galleries website.

I currently have 2 plein air coastal paintings on show at the Royal Society of Marine Artists annual exhibition in London (Mall Galleries). The show runs until October 28th.

I currently have 11 plein air paintings on show at the 2nd Annual exhibition with the Plein Air Brotherhood. The exhibition runs throughout the whole of October and is being held at the A&K Wilson gallery in Harpenden.

I've just returned from another great painting week with fellow plein air painting pals down in Sennen, Cornwall. We had some mixed weather but it takes more than a bit of rain to stop us heading out! Paintings and action shots to follow shortly on the blog.
