Today my thoughts are about exhibiting, as yesterday I changed the pictures at my small show in the Ambrose cafe in Hook Heath. Nice coffee, if you get there I hope you like the work.

For the last few years my work has been very studious, looking at trees and all the aspects surrounding them, well that work is going to continue as it slowly evolves in looking at the trees from other perspectives. Three of these works are at the Ambrose, where they are looking at pathways passing thorough the woodlands.

For a break and also my next exhibition (more about that later) my mind is wandering to small harbours and the fishing communities which inhabit them around our coasts. I am changing media to watercolour images, pulled together with a fine ink line draughtmanship; I think it works, it certainly is good fun. Above is a view of Scarborough, which I completed a couple of days ago. This project is great because it gives me an excuse to go go and visit new venues, whilst at the same time working from sketches, sometimes produced on travels many years ago, such as the above..

A note, about the last sentence, keep your old sketches, they bring back good past memories and are a resorce for work in the future.
