Cambridge Open Studios
In a moment of madness I have committed to all four weekends of Cambridge Open Studios 2019. These will take place on 6-7, 13-14, 20-21 and 27-28 July from 11am-6pm each day. My home address is 86 Hobart Road, Cambridge CB1 3PT, which is part of the 'Coleridge Trail' where a number of artists are close together if you like to see a few at a time.
It has been something of a stop-start year for me, having had two eye operations which have affected my output and way in which I have previously worked Alongside some new portraits in oil and charcoal there will be a number of quick oil and pencil sketches from life. I also aim to paint in the house over the duration.

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.
