"Force of Nature" Solo Exhibition in London

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to the preview of my solo exhibition at Duncan R Miller Fine Arts in St James's, London last week.  It was a great evening, and I really appreciate your enthusiasm and kind support.  Hope you all enjoyed the show as well!

If you missed the preview, don't worry - the show is on until 3rd March.  You can view all the work here, and take a stroll round the preview with these photos!

Here's the gallery from the outside in Bury Street.

Here's the first room, with a painting of the Mumbles in the Gower Peninsula in Wales on the left.

In the centre is a little painting of sunflowers which I saw at the roadside in Connecticut.  On the right is the Lizard in Cornwall.

At the top is the Ile de la Cite in Paris from Pont Neuf, and below it is a painting of Hammersmith Bridge.

This large painting is of the Campsies, to the north of Glasgow.

On the left at the top are the Falls of Dochart, below is a painting of the Glenlivet estate.  To the right at the top is Camusdarach on the west coast of Scotland, and below it is the Bass Rock at North Berwick.

On the left, yachts at North Berwick.  Top right, the Gower Peninsula, below is Sea Cliff on the East Coast with the Bass Rock.

This is the second room, with paitnings of Skye, North Berwick, Sandsend near Whitby, and Rhossili Bay in the Gower.

Main picture is of the Cuillins at Sligachan.

Rhossili Bay (left), Aberdeenshire (top) and the Solway Coast (below).

Autumn paintings of Hampstead Heath and the Falls of Dochart at Killin, along with seascapes of Whitby and St Ives.

Lastly, a European selection of paintings of London, Amsterdam and Venice.

Please do go along to the gallery if you get the chance!  The paintings look quite different when you see the real thing.

Arrived in London!

My paintings have arrived safely in London - hurrah!

The first selection will be on display at the LONDON ART FAIR, which runs from 21st - 25th January at the Business and Design Centre in Islington.  My paintings will be on Stand 52 with Duncan R Miller Fine Arts.  

Here is one of them, painted on the Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland in August this year.  It's at Rinagree, between Portrush and Portstewart, and you can see the faint shape of southern Ireland in the distance.

The next group will be in my solo show in February.

Last of the Solo Show Paintings

I've just been finishing off the last of my solo show paintings this week, plus submissions for next year's RSW (Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour) exhibition.  

It has been, as usual, an epic journey.  When I start to wrap all the framed paintings, ready to send down to London, I realise what a marathon it's been, as the rows of parcels mount up in the studio.

However, I'm pretty pleased at the work I've got together for the show, which opens on Friday 13th February 2015 at Duncan R Miller Fine Arts, St James's, London.

Here's the final couple of paintings in the collection.

 Moon over the Sea, Cromer (Oil on linen, 16 x 16)

Westminster at Night (Oil on linen, 12 x 12)

Catalogues will be available for the show, so if you'd like one or an invite to the preview on Thursday 12th February, then drop me a line at the usual contact email address.

Back from London

Well, it's back to earth with a bump, after a week in London for my show.  And although I may be back, the exhibition goes on until the 11th of March.

Thanks very much indeed to everyone who braved the weather to come along to the preview in St James's on Wednesday and also on Saturday.  It was really lovely to meet and speak to everyone, and I very much appreciate your kind words and enthusiasm for the paintings.  

People commented on the way that the bright colours and the vibrancy of the paintings really brightened up a dull winter day.

Here are some images of the show.  Hopefully they manage to convey some of that vibrancy!

 

 

Catalogues are here!

The catalogues for my London solo show "The Call of the Sea" have arrived - opening the boxes is always a very exciting moment!

There's my Chalk Figure near Weymouth painting on the left.  It looks really good reproduced in the catalogue I think.

Looks like a few have gone already!
