"Lewesdon Tree" unveiling this Sat 8 Jan

A Happy New Year from Bridport!

The first thing I have to mention is that after 7 months of work, I've finally finished my latest landscape commission.

I will unveil "Lewesdon Tree" tomorrow, Saturday 8 January, from 11am-5pm, at St Michael's Studios, Bridport, Dorset DT6 3RR

"Lewesdon Tree" is a 42x56inch oil painting on linen, and is a commissioned painting that has been seven months in the making. It captures the intricate subtleties of a late spring evening, as the sun sets between Pilsden Pen and Lewesdon Hill, and is the latest in my ongoing series of west Dorset landscapes inspired by my experience of living in the West Country and by my memories of growing up in north Dorset.

Saturday Open Studios

I will continue to open my studios to the public on Saturdays from 10am to 3pm throughout the Spring. Please contact me if you would like to discuss a commission or arrange a studio visit at another time.

If you're thinking of a commission...
If you'd like to discuss commissioning a painting then this is how it works - I'm always preparing new ideas (photos, collages and sketches) for paintings, and these form the basis of a discussion with the patron about what could be my next work. We tend to quickly find a subject that inspires us both, and then we agree on the size and price. So, if you would like to discuss some ideas, please contact me and we'll arrange a studio visit.
