Exhibition closed
The Windermere Art Society exhibition is now closed for this year. A huge thank you to everyone who visited, chatted, or voted for their favourite picture – and an even bigger shout-out to the folks who bought some of my work. Now comes the hard work of dismantling everything and collecting any unsold work. I’m…

Sold: Misty charcoal mountains
I’m absolutely delighted that These Mist-Covered Mountains, my charcoal drawing of mist swirling over Cat Bells at Derwentwater, sold yesterday at the Windermere Art Society exhibition. Talk about blink and you miss it – I’d only just finished posting about it on here! The event is on for another week and there’s still plenty of…

Sold: Allan Bank in acrylics
The stewards at the Windermere Art Society exhibition have just confirmed that one of my paintings sold earlier. This little 6×6 inch canvas is based on a photo I took a few years ago at the National Trust property of Allan Bank in Grasmere. The home of Canon Rawnsley, one of the original founders of…

Misty mountains
This is one of the charcoal pictures I have in the Windermere Art Society exhibition this year. Called ‘These Mist-Covered Mountains’ (Dire Straits fans may recognise the reference!), it’s of Derwentwater, looking across from the landing stages at Keswick to Cat Bells on a very misty morning. I loved the effect of the mist swirling…

Preview night
I had a super time last night with Other Half, four friends and at least a hundred other guests at the preview night for Windermere Art Society’s annual exhibition. The event was packed, sweltering and slightly exhausting – but a roaring success! Artwork is selling fast so come on down if you want to see…

Windermere Art Society exhibition
It’s all hands on deck this weekend preparing for this year’s exhibition. I never realised how much sheer hard work was involved in terms of designing and putting up the stands, hanging all the pictures and getting all the other displays, payment systems, front desk etc set up. Hats off to the members who’ve been…

All set for the exhibition
I finally finished framing, stringing and labelling all 7 of the pictures I’m entering into the Windermere Art Society exhibition this year. It took me a lot longer than I’d have liked, not least because I had to make a sudden dash to buy new frames after managing to break the last one I had!…

One small step…
…for an artist… I’m busy getting ready for this year’s Windermere Art Society exhibition in August. With a total of seven new pieces of art to mount, title, frame and label, it’s surprisingly hard work. One down, six more to go!

Cumbria Local Arts exhibition 2026
Another morning in Grasmere visiting the amazing Cumbria Local Atrs exhibition. It’s hard to believe that this time last year I dreamed of one day being accepted for this – and now here I am with 3 pictures on display and another in reserve. It’s been an exciting journey of discovery, and one I’m incredibly…

Pictures at an exhibition
I spent the day getting my pictures ready for the Cumbria Local Arts exhibition in Grasmere in 4 days’ time, including a last check over before wrapping them carefully in Bubblewrap. Waah! I’ll miss them. But hopefully they’ll go to nice homes, and if not I’ll have them back again the following week! If you…
