Exhibiting at the 20 21 British Art Fair

Not long now before the 20 21 British Art Fair opens at the Royal College of Art in London for another busy show. 


Running from the 12-16 September, this fair kicks off the new autumn art season in London, and showcases all the best in British 20th and 21st century art.  

Big names such as Bacon, Freud, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Hodgson, Lanyon, Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Scott, Spencer and Sutherland will all be there, as well as the Scottish Colourists...and me!

So if you're going to be there, look out for my work on the Duncan R Miller Fine Arts stand, and paintings such as these...

Evening Torchlight, Bath (Oil on linen, 15 x 15)

Spring Tulips with Cherry Blossom (Oil on linen, 12 x 12)

Sun and Approaching Rain, Catbells (Oil, 10 x 10)

Beautiful Tulips

The tulips and cherry blossom in my garden are out!


Whenever I'm in Amsterdam, I make sure I buy lots of tulip bulbs, all with exotic pictures on the front and promises of unusual show-stopping blooms in exciting colour combinations.  This includes the thrillingly named 'Queen of the Night', a black tulip.  I've lost count of the number of 'Queen of the Night' bulbs I've tucked under the soil in my garden over the years.  And every spring, I wait for them to come up.

So....spot any black tulips...?


Still, my plain old red and yellow tulips are proving to be willing and co-operative models as usual, and this week I'll be painting some more canvasses like this...
