Bare or Bear?

A chilly start but a beautiful drive through the Lakes to Penrith with clear blue skies. First stop Rheged for coffee time with friend, Joyce. Then into the Everest exhibition, a history of the men and women who have conquered the mountain. Some interesting paintings, photographs and memorabilia particularly of The Mallory and Irvine expedition whe...

Open Studios ( part 2)

Rachel, Nanette and I managed to paint on site whilst we were there and Nanette also managed some gardening.  The workshops were all very well received.  At the same time I managed to get out and about to visit others on the trail. My framers in Brampton were part of the trail because upstairs is situated, the Gallery North West. On my re...

The love of books

How I love to receive a book token and I was delighted to get one for my recent birthday, and a special big one it was. I was picking up my art work from the New Bookshop, where it had been displayed in the window as part of Meanders, a wonderful annual exhibition of artist's work in the windows of shops in Cockermouth. I had chosen my paintin...

Out of the Blue

What a surprise to receive a phonecall from Paul Mooney, the weatherman from BBCs Look North. And what an honour to be asked to be the guest judge in the weather photography competition to choose the May picture to go into the Children in Need Calendar.  My immediate thought was that we'd just had one of the biggest weather events in 20 years ...

Where my wellies take me...

 It seems ages ago that Mrs Alderson asked if I would go into Beckermet School for their Arts Week and do some art work with the children.  The brief was to do art work based on the local area. I had a great idea for a project for a village school using the beautiful poetry book by Michael and Clare Morpurgo.  I suggested that rather...

Exhibition at The Shipping Brow

On Sunday afternoon as the gallery closed for another week, five female artists from west Cumbria descended on the gallery to put up an exhibition called Telling Stories.  It took us about two and a half hours to put up the exhibitions with a little help from James and Dave.  We were very pleased with the outcome. The work is of a high st...

My next exhibition in the Tolbooth will be in J...

I saw the Light

 Two years ago I bought this little pack of Khadi papers. 100 sheets of A8 papers. I had no idea at the time what I would do with them but I do love little projects and knew something would spark my creative interest. Ive always loved our lighthouses here in Whitehaven. So, for a coastal competition, I painted the lighthouses of West Cumbria o...
