New landscape artfrickers year 2016

If this blog has been rather quite of late, my apologies. That does not mean there has not been progress behind the scene; there has been lots. Meaning there is a lot of news, information and with a bit of luck some very nice surprises to come in 2016. My landscape painting year has started with a beautiful inspiring evening… just as well I have a lot of ‘wine village’ paintings planned, to paint in the first half of this year so it’s fair to say there are some adventures and surprises fermenting. This picture was a birthday surprise for my new friend Francoise, presented at his birthday party yesterday  evening. This petit, rapidly made water colour measures 80 x 30 cms (7″ x 5″) , birthday card and gift all in one, (very economic).

A moving tale including the application of two fine wines

Wine art? tongue slightly in cheek, yes this is about wine and art. For the first time in months I gave all be it by accident, a lunch to friends.

I’ve been moving house office and studio. I’ve been researching in England for Mayflower 400, I’ve been busy, I’m getting re organised, at last the dust is beginning to settle.

As for the wine and the lunch…? Me, a chef, you must be joking? My specialty is toast.
