You’re Invited to My Open Studio.Weekends: 10th, 11th, 17th & 18th May.11am - 5pm. Each year during the Dulwich Festival, local artists open their studios to the public and I hope you will be available to visit mine. It’s a rare chance to experience all of my newest paintings up close and in the space where they’re created. You’re warmly invited to drop in, explore the work, and perhaps find a piece that speaks to you, whether a limited edition print or a bold statement painting for your home or art collection. Following my recent experience on Landscape Artist of the Year, I’ll also be painting live each day from 2.30–3.30pm. Come by, soak up the atmosphere, and witness the...
Last June, I had the incredible opportunity to take part in Landscape Artist of the Year as one of 50 wildcard artists. If you’re not familiar with the show, it features six main pod artists who are typically paint landscapes, while some of the wildcards are also landscape artists and others bring a mix of different artistic styles and approaches. One of the highlights of the day was being interviewed by Stephen Mangan - one of my favourite UK actors and comedians! (The Split fans, will understand my excitement - Team Nathan! well, in seasons 1&2 😉) Anyway, back to LAOTY - My challenge took place at Bristol Harbourside, I chose this vibrant and colourful location as it was perfect for my style....

I can’t believe I’m already wishing you a Happy New Year – that felt like the quickest Christmas and New Year ever! I hope you managed to have a good rest? Happy New Year! One thing I did manage to do was finish the new painting I started at the beginning of December. If you remember the photo I shared in my last blog, it was just a blank canvas. Now, it’s complete and looking for a new and loving home. Behind my bold, colourful paintings are real-life experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Living by the rule of “in the moment” when creating, I try to call on current happenings and learnings in my life, and sometimes, an amalgamation of different...
I hope you’re doing well and feeling ready to embrace the spirit and busyness of December! I want to take this opportunity to say thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I have completed a new painting since my last newsletter: A Series Of Natural And Spontaneous Changes. 100cm x 100cm x 4cm Sq.Oil on deep stretched canvas. Learn more. A further extension of the smooth curves of my teapot design, I have this time, tried to explore an abstract skyscape / landscape. My inspiration comes from Lao Tzu who said; “Life is an ever-evolving series of natural and spontaneous changes”.
