Just so proud of my son. Why? Because he moved to Birmingham and got himself involved in the art and music scene in Birmingham and along the way he started Birmingham Open Studios and opened a gallery!

I shall be back at Lux Gallery in Edgbaston on 1 & 2 October 2022 as part of Birmingham Open Studios. Four of the gallery's regular artists will be showing some of there work in the gallery from 11am to 5pm.

I have painted a brand new work for the occasion, titled 'Tree of Birmingham' and it includes the Raging Bull that got so much attention during the Commonwealth Games. I was mesmerised by it! I also have a painting of the 'Rest House in Bournville', the beautiful 'village' that Cadbury's build to house their workers at the nearby chocolate factory.

Plus I am taking along 4 very small square paintings based on trees- 15cms square and unframed, they look great individually or together.
