I've got a big, approximately 4ft square, piece of wood to paint on, so I've been mocking up some ideas in Photoshop. It's the closest I get to sketching. I've got some smaller works on paper to do in November so not sure if I will start the big one this year or not. And any of these ideas that I don't use I can use for smaller pieces.

Tonight is the Private View and Garden Party at the Anna Lovely Gallery in SE26 and it's a scorcher in London. Been finishing a new piece for the next Sprout Open in October. It isn't finished yet but I sent a submission photo of the progress so far...

I've been busy making some new work, since the successful show at Woodfield Pavilion ended. Some of which I hope to be showing as part of the Streatham Festival, where I think I will be in four different locations, mid October. There is a series emerging, which are larger versions of the piece I had rejected by the RA for this years Summer Exhibition. I'm not sure whether to hold them back until I have done a few more and exhibit them all together or just put them up on here for sale now. I'm going to write a bit more about them and post it later by which time I might have made my mind up. The other two are stand alone works.

I've created a sale page for the remaining [well, most of them] works from the "You Can't Take It With You" show at Woodfield Pavilion. As it says on the page, you can come and view all the works on my home studio walls in SW2. I can deliver, free of charge, anywhere in Greater London and I can offer pay in instalments thanks to GoCardless. So, what's stopping you?

It had been a quiet year up until the last week of June, with only two sales in the first six months of the year but as you can see from this mock up, the past month has been much better.

I'm happy to say that The Rest Is Silence is my 10th sale at The Woodfield Pavilion and still 9 days to go before the show closes. There will be a closing party from 2:00pm on Sunday 16th July.
