I hope you are all keeping warm! Winter is upon us. I can’t believe it, only yesterday it seemed like I was getting ready for my solo show. The winter months have been busy so I thought I’d send you all a little update about what’s happening!
2025 Calendar - A Year In Paint
Back by popular demand is a small selection of some of my favourite works from this year of painting. It as an A3 wall calendar, featuring 12 x full A4 images of my work on heavyweight 200gsm silk paper. I have picked my favouite oil, watercolour and gouache paintings that are full of energy and are all very uplifting.
There are a limited number of copies and they are already flying out the door, so grab yours now! A great stocking filler.
THE ROYAL INSTITUTE OF OIL PAINTERS - Annual Exhibition
The Annual Exhibition of the ROI opened next week. I am thrilled to have three paintings in the show.
In addition to the usual excellent works from a host of amazing Member artists, this year’s theme is “EAT”. I was excited to be able to include one of my market scenes, painted en plein air at the Saturday Food Market at the top of the King’s Road in Chelsea. Perfect for the theme ‘Eat’!
The show is now available now online here and can be browsed and purchased before the show opens.

ROI Silent Auction for the Artists’ General Benevolent Institution - AGBI
I was very pleased to donate one of my works for the Silent Auction at the ROI. Painted in high Summer on the South Bank in London on a vibrant day looking across the Thames at the flags and boats. It was so wonderful to paint en plein air with all the street performers and music around.
To bid on my painting and other amazing works in the auction click here.
The AGBI provides financial support to visual artists and their dependents in need who live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland and who cannot work or earn due to injury or illness.
