The New Shop is Growing Fast
There are now over 30 different prints to buy from my new online shop.
The first prints available are some of the most popular scenes from my Travelling Artist collection including paintings of Sheffield, London and Venice. We plan to add more locations soon, as well as a collection of greetings cards.
Also recently updated: the commission a painting section, please have a look. I love painting gifts for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions.
Don't forget, for more information, you can sign-up to my newsletter (see the footer below).
Chatsworth, Derbyshire
Another Travel Poster from the Peak District. Chatsworth House 11.5 miles from our home in Ringinglow Village. Not had the Duke's permission to produce this, so it's not for commercial use!
Photos
While walking our grandpup (our son's dog) above their home in Calver in Derbyshire I took these photos of thirty thousand thistles and a fly on a flower on my phone camera. Haven't things moved on since my first 1KB digital camera!

Cordoba - the Mosque
In June we were guided around Seville, Cordoba and Granada by Riviera Travel. This is my abiding memory of the Mosque of Cordoba and how it would look as a Travel Poster!
Chicago from Lake Michigan
Yet another Travel Poster - this one is Chicago from Lake Michigan. That's the Willis (old Sears) Tower peeping out above the "mist" ! We were there in 2004.

While I was finishing this one our younger daughter Sian was producing our next generation - our next prince "Rory". It wasn't easy but both are well! Congratulations to her and Andrew.

Vintage Posters in my style
It was suggested to me to look at ideas for Posters in a vintage style but with the help of more modern techniques (ie. via my computer). Without starting from square one, I used one of my (many) scanned images and with a few adjustments my first effort ended up with the attached. Can you spot the little twist?

Heeley Art Club last night the theme was "animals"
HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY FFION
Happy Birthday to our beautiful, feisty American granddaughter in Colorado Springs - "mermaid on a pogo-stick". The pogo-stick was her birthday present choice and she did ask for a mermaid on a swing on our post card from Mallorca last April - I combined them on her birthday card!
Sheffield on the Hill
Sheffield on the hill - looking up Pond Hill..... stage 3 finished! Can't decide whether or not to add it to my display in the "10 artists and 10 paintings" at Baslow on 24 & 25 October. In the meantime I must do some house maintenance, painting and decorating!
