These 2 paintings went to England, one is sold and in London, and 'After the Storm', on the right, is still showing with @moorwoodart in Somerset. Camilla also has 2 larger paintings of mine for sale too.
She has featured me on her new website in her spotlight section and mentions that my paintings are often the happiest in the room.

I've been showing in Moorwoodart group shows for many years now, check out her website www.moorwoodart.com or follow her on instagram #moorwoodart.

There's little time to paint today, I'm wrapping this and others to ship tomorrow.
"Esperanza y Alegria" 50cmx70cm. Oil, beeswax and sand on paper.

This is the first painting I've had the opportunity to collaborate with the buyer on giving it its title. A very nice experience.

After what feels months, but is only actually week

After what feels months, but is only actually weeks, I've finally started painting again.
I've decided to go into the field every day with my watercolours. There is such a beautiful view and the almond blossom is just about to come out. Plus theres loads of wild lavender and trees I've never painted before. Here's the first one.

This is Calahorra. I painted this years ago when my children were young and we went sledging one day in the Sierra Nevada. When we were nearly at the snow we turned a corner and there was this magical castle, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, larger than life, towering over a small village. La Calahorra castle is massive. It feels out of proportion to everything around it.
On the way back the sun was setting and we stopped so I could paint it all. It's like a place of fairy tales.

" Light like Rain".

This is in our show "Sol y Sombra", which had its last day today.
We were incredibly fortunate to have 10 normal days of opening times before restrictions only allowed local residents to visit.
Considering this show was postponed in March because of the first lockdown, I was really happy to work towards this new date. We got lots of visitors and sales too, press coverage and a chance to exhibit together again.

This is for sale at our exhibition, which is still open to the public, and its also possible to buy the prints individually from the artists.

This is a watercolour I painted sitting in a field of newly planted mango trees.
Its larger than usual and I had a good time covering the paper with lots of colour, drips and splashes before looking properly at the actual landscape in front of me.

Our exhibition "Sol y Sombra" is still running !
Please see opening times and remember we can organise private appointments.
Sadly l can't visit now because I live in the province of Granada and restrictions won't allow it. But thankfully I and others could attend the opening.
Here's some of my work alongside the sculptures of #lieuwkeloth, who is one of the 5 members of the #costadelartecollective.

What strange circumstances to be hanging a show..w

What strange circumstances to be hanging a show..we are now in semi stay at home state here in Granada/Malaga, but life continues. The organic mangos have nearly all been collected from the fields around me and I have been given some that must weigh nearly 2 kilos each ! Such small trees to carry such weight...
This is 'Sun and Shade, Wind and Snow' 150cmx100cm.

For our show, which we hang today, @galleryartclub and will open on Thursday at 5pm.
Please ask for details if you are planning to visit.

The real reason I've always loved painting outside is because I can sit for hours in the landscape, in amongst all that beauty and peace.

I will be showing some of my watercolours at Sol y Sombra, opening on Thursday in Fuengirola.

This is a watercolour which you probably can't see that well here on Instagram, because it's so long!
But this is Portugal to me, long expansive horizons and fields of sunflowers, golden wheat dotted with cork and oak trees.
