Cambridge Open Studios 2020. Just a quick note to say I will be doing all 4 weekends of this July's Cambridge Open Studio. I did all 4 last year which was great, with many enjoying looking through my sketchbook work. Hope to see you then!

Recent paintings... here's a couple of recently completed studio paintings. The first Dead Roses was painted on an old cabinet door which has been kicking around the house and garden for a few years. I've had my eye on it to paint on for some time and would like to do more like this if the right bits of old wood can be found. The roses, picked from a late flush from one of my gardening clients, were both growing and decaying simultaneously, and offered a wonderful smell conveying both. The second, the portrait of Duarte from the Blue Moon, Cambridge, is over 1.5m long and was painted for entry to the RS exhibition coming up in mind. |

Exhibition at Art & Soul
Thankyou to everybody who attended my recent solo exhibition at the Art & Soul Cafe in St Neots. especially those who travelled some distance. I really enjoyed being back in my hometown, seeing some old faces and getting some 'Dakins' out there! A couple of my old school teachers! appeared over the 2 weeks, and I've always enjoyed how my art has enabled me to make contact with friends from the past. It's also good to get some press (left) even if they did write that my drawing of 'Old Mr Farrer Up The Road' was in fact me! I guess I am getting on a bit...
Thanks again to Donna White who helped throughout, and to Caroline at the cafe who made everything so easy.
Below are a couple of images from the show.
