Palm trees and eateries

Hi there and a big happy new year to you, let’s hope 2022 proves to be a more positive year for all. I haven’t posted in a long while, so figured it was time for an update from the studio! Having said that, with the continuing juggles of the pandemic, studio-time here has been a challenge to say the least. But I’m delighted to be able to show you this latest large statement piece which kept me busy during 2021. Titled ‘Por la tarde’ (meaning ‘In the afternoon’) this piece is an original oil painting 100x70cm canvas size, which happily went to its new home with a fabulous collector at the end of 2021.

‘Por la tarde’ 100x70cm original oil painting on canvas. SOLD.

The painting is part of my ‘Recuerdos’ (Memories) collection, an ongoing series inspired by time spent with my family in Spain over the years. This particular scene is of one of our favourite places for lunch, a bustling street in the wonderful city of Cadiz full of palm trees, eateries and street life. I was drawn to the amount going on in this image, so many points of interest, like a cultural feast for the eyes. Hope you enjoy it too!

The lovely new owner very kindly sent me this photo of it on the wall in it’s new home. I love how it looks there with the surrounding colours and patterns all working so well together.

And so moving onto the new year, and my first bit of painting is creating three mini originals to donate to the wonderful Incognito fundraiser exhibition for Jack & Jill Foundation. The exhibition sale is due to happen in April, so I’ll keep you updated on that nearer the time. It’ll be my fourth year contributing, it’s always such a great one to be part of.

After that my plan is to build a full new collection of works, with the aim of exhibiting in real life, covid-allowing! I really miss the live shows, meeting everyone face to face and having the chats. Fingers crossed for a return to more real life art shows from here on!

In the meantime, thanks for following, keep well and keep creative.
