I'm happy to say that Right To Roam [see picture here] was sold at the St. Ives Arts Club Easter Exhibition this week. It's the first sale of the year now that some exhibitions are coming up, which is encouraging. I'm concentrating on some experimental three dimensional pieces at the moment like this piece. Whether I will be able to get any of them selected for any open calls or not I'm not sure.

The first two of the 2025 shows are almost upon us., Both kicking off on April 5th. The Penzance Studios Spring Exhibition runs until April 26th and the St. Ives Arts Club Easter Exhibition runs until the 18th. Finishing just in time for Easter to start!

I've entered a mixture of  work for the Penzance show at Wharfside Art Hub, so I'm not convinced it will all get in but you need to get the experiments out in the wild. Not that it is easy to get visitors opinions of work during group shows. I will be invigilating on two afternoons at both exhibitions though, so I could interrogate anyone that wanders in during those hours.
I'll be at the Wharfside Art Hub on the 7th and 14th between 14.00 - 1 7..00 and at the St. Ives Arts Club on the 9th and 16th between 13.30 - 16.30.

There have been a flurry of exhibitions to round off my first 10 months living in Penzance. I can now add the St. Ives Arts Club Festive Exhibition to that list. I will be showing three paintings there from December 21st to January 5th.

I'll be showing a bit of a cross section of work. "Strange Transmission" is an older work but I included it because it has never been exhibited before. "Snapshots of Summer" is an indication of where I am going with newer work, which is all derived from deconstructing and reconstructing the cube and address issues of space and territory. In between those two is number five of a series of 10 pieces called "PZ's of 8" that I made loosely based on observations around Newlyn Harbour. They are, maybe, a response to all of those that asked if I would start painting seascapes once I moved from London to Cornwall. I think the textures from these works will find their way into the de/re-constructed cube works I will being focusing on in 2025.

​Until then Merry Christmas!.

Blimey, it's December already. Now that winter is almost upon us the Penzance Studios Winter Exhibition Is over, but the St Ives Society of Artists Christmas Exhibition continues until the end of the year, I will be at the Linden Hall opening event next Saturday in Deal and I also hope to be part of the St Ives Arts Club Members Festive Exhibition, which runs from December 21st to January 5th.

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.
