November News

This month sees my painting Christmas at Castleton above as part of a step by step article in the SAA magazine. I really enjoyed working on the article and hopefully will do more.



Castleton is my must visit place on Christmas Eve I've been going every year since the 90's its got everything for the perfect start to Christmas.
The painting is also part of my new card range which you can purchase online here or from me direct at my stall. Trade buyers always welcome email me for a price.

Commisions
I've had a steady flow of commissions in 2017 and look forward to more next year, there is no time to complete anymore before Christmas but if you wish to give the gift of a commission for Christmas it makes an ideal present and something to look forward to for the recipient in the new year. I am always willing to discuss any ideas via email or visit me at my stalls mentioned above.
