An Exhibition of Recent Work

Here we go - rescuing this blog from the woeful neglect of the last couple of years. And, what's the occasion? I'm having an exhibition. Stand by for an online catalogue of all the work on show at La Patisserie, 621 Eccleshall Road, Sheffield.

A 2014 Exhibition

I've decided to arrange an autumn exhibition this year as it's been a while since I had a show - it's also a good excuse for a party!
I'm spending a lot of time away this year over the summer, guiding walks but am making the time to paint away quietly. My work's evolving gradually and this feels like a good time to gather a number of paintings together. I've got several works on the go at the moment - here's a painting of Mont Blanc in progress:

I'll have more details soon but the exhibition will be at The Patisserie on Eccleshall Road in Sheffield from the 18th October.

As if I didn't have enough to do...

This is the first post of a new blog.

 I've had a blog for a couple of years, cramming the different fields of my life into a single outpouring - in truth more of a trickle! But it's been gradually dawning on me that I need to separate out the different strands into several parallel blogs and this is the first to see the pixellated light of day. Picture Imperfect is where I intend to share my artistic life, my paintings, drawings and photography.

So, let's begin with a work in progress. I'm presently working on a number of studio paintings - all of the rock landscapes of the eastern Edges of the Peak District. I'm pondering this one at present... is it finished. This,for me, is often the most difficult decision.
