Goodbye Constance Lytton, my #Suffragette heroine.
Yesterday I delivered you into the gentle hands of the @RWABristol Permanent Collection to be stored on a rack in a darkened room.
Hope to see you on public display again one day

Phyllida Barlow has died.
I so admired and respected Barlow. I am saddened thinking of all the work she destroyed because she had nowhere to store completed works or buyers for it. Saddened that she was only recognised In later life. Her contributions to art and teaching lives on
North Norfolk with Saxon church, Holkham beach, seals, oystercatcher, waders, a crab, shells, boats and Wood Henge. I Two busts on a commission by a wonderful family. Thank you so much.

I have been working hard into the New year on my latest series of 4 large scale paintings.
Singular Path II, oil on canvas, 160x110cm. This is first to be resolved of a conversation with red, violet & green made from pigment.
Now allowing the pigments to dry. #inseries#paint
I spent the last few months working on a commissioned portrait of a lady who loves flowers. Painting to please someone else was quite challenging but I managed to finish in time for Xmas. Tomorrow I'll start a new painting - the New Year beckons.....

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Wishing all my friends and followers a very Merry Christmas and a New Year full of creative adventures.
