Dunbar Street Art Trail 2018

Today is the first day of the week long Dunbar Street Art Trail 2018 which I am delighted to be part of this year with the Family Festival Arts Day taking place on Sat 25th Aug, especially as Cromwell Harbour is a favourite subject for me to paint. Check out some of my paintings displayed in the window of the 1650 Coffee House on the High St, Dunbar this week which by the way serve delicious cakes and amazing coffee.

Delighted to be part of the Number Four Gallery Summer Show in St Abbs

The Number Four Gallery in St Abbs is in a gorgeous restored steading next to the Old Smiddy Tea Room on the edge of the St Abbs Nature Reserve and has the most wonderful selection of contemporary art work, sculptures, prints, ceramics, paintings, jewellery and glass work. It is a pleasure to visit and on a beautiful spot overlooking St Abbs Church surrounded by wheatfields. Having often been inspired by the art work on display I am thrilled to be included in their Summer Show this year and just learnt yesterday they have sold my painting of St Abbs Harbour. www.numberfourgallery.co.uk

3HAF Three Harbours Arts Festival in Cockenzie, Port Seton and Prestonpans 2018

I had a fantastic time exhibiting at the 3 Harbours Arts Festival in early July. It's in a wonderful location and aided by the map of all the venues exhibiting artists' work you can visit a number of wonderful buildings and see a wide variety of art work over a day or two. I met lots of fellow artists and enjoyed being part of this vibrant event. I sold my Oat Field, Spott and was pleased it went to a couple who knew the area well that it was painted in.
