Somehow it's September already. August shot by once my solo show at the St. Ives Arts Club ended. I was very happy with my seven sales, along with another at the Penwith Gallery, but glad to get back to making work for this month.

The pieces that didn't sell at the Arts Club will be on show upstairs at the Men-an-Tol Brewhouse in Penzance from the 2nd and I have two more from that show in the Penzance Studios Autumn Exhibition, which opens on the 5th September, at the Wharfside Arts Hub in Penzance, alongside a large diptych that I finished just in time. [see below].

On September 12th I will have more work at the St. Ives Arts Club, as part of the September Festival and on the same day the Royal West of England Academy 173rd Annual Open starts in Bristol; which I have a piece in. I will be at the Private View on the Friday night, which is now sold out.

Next, is planning for, potentially, four more shows before the year is out and making more larger pieces.

I am very happy to say that I am part of the St. Ives Society of Artists Christmas Open which runs until December 31st at the Mariner's gallery in St. Ives. I will be at the Private View on Saturday the 23rd between 2-4pm. Come and See my three paintings and plenty more.

I'm happy to announce that I will be showing some new work, alongside some older pieces, at Newlyn's Jupiter Gallery, from May 24th to June 2nd. The day before the Penzance Studios Spring Exhibition, which I will also be participating in, opens and coinciding with the first weekend of Cornwall Open Studios. I didn't have time to sign up for the Open Studios when I was moving down to Penzance so it's nice to be able to have something on over those weekends.

I posted these on here back in August, with the intention of adding more to the series. I haven't done that yet, but I'm pleased to say that these four have all sold in the past week. So thank you, Woodfield Pavilion, the Streatham Festival and The Streatham Wine House, who all had a hand in their sales in one way or another. Maybe I should get another four painted for Christmas! I could have sold the pink one three times over. Amusingly, a smaller version of the pink one was rejected by the RA Summer Exhibition selectors and the other three were rejected by the Marshwood Awards selection committee.

Here's a little guide of where to find my various works in the Streatham Festival.

These four will be in the Streatham Tate Library

These two will be in the Woodfield Pavilion

And this one will be in Charles Carter Hair...
​There may still be others there and elsewhere yet.
