At Dorking Business Breakfast Group today we talked about the first book we loved - what was yours?

I’ve just finished varnishing the third canvas in the series of “A New York State of mind”. If you love New York and like bicycles this 60x60cm canvas selling at £600 with painted edges, but could be framed, might be perfect for your home or office!

I'm just starting to label all the artworks to take to Cranleigh 1st June for the Surrey Hills Artisan Market - I'll be by Sainsbury's on the High Street. I'll have new original acrylic canvases, Original Prints -2 for the price of 1 and framed oils at 50% off #paintings #prints

I finished this painting today, inspired by agapanthus and structural plants seen at Agricultural Plants in Pulborough. i would love to paint more of this type of painting - what are your favourite flowers?

Finished this bluebell picture today - 50x700cm with painted edges so no frame needed. It’s for sale at £550 and much nicer in real life than in this iPhone shot - the surface is more textural than it looks.

Been photographing flowers in the garden and so few bees this month?, but managed to snap on with a micro lens on my phone. Might paint the passion flower as it is so amazing!

I’ve finished “Fish and water lilies” today which starting with inspiration from huge carp at Hever Castle that was then covered with lily pads sittinghigh above the flowers in my pond ran out of water! It’s rather abstract and surrealist. 60x60cm for sale at £550 unframed!
