Friday...

It’s been a bit of a busy, multi tasking week, as tonight I have the Private View for my new exhibition ‘Sea Marks’ at 35 North Contemporary Art Gallery in Brighton...

It’s an exhibition which combines all my work process with sketches, texture studies, paintings and photographs with inspiration from Brighton, Hastings and Cornwall...

I’ve been cutting it a bit fine with the painting and some of them were still a bit wet when they were framed and when  I hung them yesterday! 

You can read a bit more about the gallery and exhibition here, and if you’re in Brighton over the next 4 weeks and fancy a nosey, the gallery is open Thursday - Sunday.

Next week I’ll be tidying the garden which is getting overrun by Autumn!

Wednesday...

Back in June I posted a piece about the amazing wild flower meadow near my local supermarket...

I’ve passed it a few times recently and from a distance it just looks like a piece of scorched scrubland, but I decided to have a closer look today...and put a few seed pods in my pocket too!

I came away feeling that it was as beautiful as it was in June but just in a completely different way...

  ...it’s so fantastic that it hasn’t been mowed down, and that it’s obviously being encouraged to self-seed for next year.

Vintage Penguin Paperback Display....

As part of my Open House exhibition this May, I have been lent a collection of vintage Penguin paperback books to 'install' into my shed...they are such beautiful things, it's been a joy to arrange!

The illustration on the last one, bears the name of my late grandfather...who wasn't a butcher!

The exhibition is open the first 4 weekends in May, and also features my Dungeness paintings.

So if you fancy visiting Brighton...pop in!

You can see more photos if you want to follow me on instagram at '5ftinf'.
