New Painting

New painting - 'Evening Cathedral, Ripon', mixed media on canvas 5ft x 5ft

And here I am working on it when it was to be a summer painting:

Bringing The Studio To Life

When first we see the studio space there is no electricity or water but it is a beautiful space nonetheless. It may have been a grain store or hay loft and the door has a sliding 'cat flap', probably to allow access to ratting terriers.

Moving my easel in was a huge moment:

Uber electrician, Alan Shaw came and power and lighting were installed in a day.

I found a butler's sink,

Built a painting table

and before long we were in business with the first paintings started.
