As ever, painting takes precedence over keeping the website up to date but it’s time to catch up with what’s happening this summer. The end of June sees the opening of Patchings Royal Societies Summer Exhibition.  This is a new show with 11 invited artists from the Royal Societies associated with the Mall Galleries in London.  It opens on the 28th of June and runs until August 17th and will feature around 150 paintings in the 3 galleries at Patchings Art Centre, as well as a programme of demonstrations and workshops.  I will be there on July 13th, working in watercolour.  See  www.patchingsartcentre.co.uk   June 28th also sees the start of my course at Dedham Hall - an annual event working with students in the stunning landscape and along the rivers and shorelines of Essex and Suffolk.
