Bristol Evening Post 26 April 2012 The BEP has written a lovely article about my painting ‘Autumn’ getting into the exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Society of Women Artists. Our local Art Trail gets a mention too. Thank you so much, Philip, at the Bristol Evening Post.

Folded Lace has gained a frame The two lace ‘piles’ work nicely together.

A studio clear-out and tidy-up deserves a photo...doesn’t happen that often...

A new painting, still on the easel, as good as finished. I might tweak it here an there still but for now I am calling it done. Folded Lace , oil on canvas, 40x30cm
