my latest acrylic/mixed media work (on watercolour board)… I’m still exploring the abstract potential of the industrial remains of the tin and copper mines between Land’s End and Cape Cornwall. Needs a title yet… 

I’m enjoying producing these and it feels like this one is getting closer to the abstracted colour and form I’m after…

Hard to believe that I’ll be spending two uninterrupted weeks next year painting in the area, thanks to my recently awarded Artists Residency at Brison’s Veor.

I’m so pleased, today I got the news that I have been awarded an artist’s residency at Brison’s Veor, Cape Cornwall, for 2014!

A wonderful location, the house is the furthest west in England and situated right on the cliffs looking out to sea and the rocks that give the house its name. It has been run solely for creative residencies since the 1970s.

It’s also very close to the tin mining area I’ve recently been painting, which will be the main focus of my work whilst I’m there.
I’ll have it to myself for two weeks… two weeks of concentrating on painting, sketching, exploring. It will be my first residency.
