The pressure mounts as an exhibition looms.

Byard Art have asked me to exhibit in their 'Along Your Street' exhibition and also their Summer Show. I am thrilled to be taking part and have been very busy preparing.

The details above are from a painting of Trinity College, Cambridge complete with a shining moon, a detail from a painting at the Fitzwilliam Museum I very much admire and some of our wonderful cows that can be seen on many of the commons in the city.

More details soon with some better images.

Besides painting and Urban sketching, I teach small classes in my home.

I have a vacancy in my Friday group for the Summer Term from 3 May to 5 July. The sessions begin at 10am and finish at 12.30pm. All you need to do is wear some old clothes as I provide everything else included coffee and occasionally something to nibble providing you draw it first.

I have a maximum of four people in a class so my students are able to learn what they want to learn in a safe environment. We do observational drawing in pen, pencil or pastel, paint in watercolour and acrylic, experiment with silk paints and make mono prints. We also use a theme as a starting point or look at various artists and try and base our work on a particular style. We also go drawing at the local museums and living in Cambridge we are spoilt for choice!

I call my art sessions Cambridge Art Classes.

I have three classes and each runs for a term of 10 weeks. I provide all the materials so we can chop and change and experiment with different materials. There are 3 terms a year and each one costs £220. Many of my students stay for quite a long time so it is not often I have a space.

If you would like to see some of the work produced please follow this link.

or I have a website which I'm afraid is not updated regularly as it takes far too much time!
