First this week some news from Northumberland.

I’ve continued painting Lake District Lakes this week.

I decided to crack on with the new Lakeland paintings this week.

Recently I’ve been seeing posts from my friend/ex wife’s cousin Andy Fairhurst,  who is also one of my most loyal and supportive readers of my blog.

I had 4 commissions to complete, so, it was into the studio on Monday.

Art in the Garden 2025

It’s been hard work this week preparing for Art in the Garden.

Some of you will have seen my Facebook post regarding the “Aspects of Ullswater” Exhibition at Beckstones Gallery in The Lakes.

After a long trip back from Anglesey in beautiful weather on Saturday, we awoke to a storm on Sunday morning. 

We had a lovely weekend with our friends Rob and Caroline.

A bit of a shock this week when my sister rang to check arrangements for Saturday when we’re going on holiday to Anglesey.

We had a very warm weekend in The Lakes.

I finally got my new easel assembled and have been using it all week.

I have exciting news. I’ve bought a new easel!
