Still life artist with a thing about #herbs. Collecting them, growing them, cooking with them, but most of all....painting them.

A small section of my current work in progress. I've just got through the inevitable wobbly patch I experience with every new painting, that feeling that it is just never going to look right. So now, with a renewed spring in my paintbrush, its onwards once again.

It's another varnishing day. New painting, 'Lemon Parsley', off to Norwich to be framed very soon, then delivered on to Gladwell and Patterson gallery in London.

After a few days away, welcoming a new grand daughter, Florence, into the world, it's back to the studio. And its a varnishing day.

@RevRichardColes My 5 year old grand daughter is half (OK mostly) French. She would absolutely hoot at the name of that place.

@StigAbell er....baffling to me just one year ago. Headphones?

[Stewart Lees @StewartLees2]

@mtaylorart1 That also happened to me once, Martin, hence that slight trepidation each time.

[Stewart Lees @StewartLees2]

Varnishing a painting is such a peaceful thing to do. But always done with a knot in the stomach because, well, what if it goes wrong?

@georgie_hawkins Thank you!

My latest painting, still a work in progress but almost finished. 'The Garden Shelf', oil on gesso panel 100 x 80 cm. After three months of intense work it's exciting to finally be thinking about the last few finishing touches.

@Annie79150935 Thank you!

New painting just finished - 70 x 100cm, oil on panel. The main subject is an Oregano plant in a clay pot. The shelf on which my still life sits is genuinely a shelf in my garden, untouched from when we moved in. Nails in the wall, bits of wire hanging, just as we found it.
