Signs of activity


Freshly prepared panels awaiting inspiration and oil paint


My first post for some time. The abrupt suspension to my posts here came about owing to a combination of Dizziness, Vertigo, Fatigue and Nausea which I have struggled with increasingly over the past two years or so. Finally earlier this year it became so bad it was very difficult to work.

A CT scan revealed the culprit of this malady to be a cholesteatoma in my right middle ear. Treatment for which, in my case, was a radical mastoidectomy - this is surgery to remove the diseased middle ear and mastoid bones. This was undertaken in April and despite a readmission to hospital for two further days to staunch profuse bleeding and the op itself rendering me deaf on the right side ("its all mono for you from now on" a dear friend comically observed) miraculously I now feel about a hundred percent better. And I am back at work.

Because of all this palaver I have had to cancel my participation in the Norwich and Norfolk Open Studios this month however I am having Open Studios here during the Holt Festival from 23rd July to 6th August - Opening daily 10 am to 5pm 

So if you would like to see some lovely paintings on sale in my new studio space, meet the artist and his handsome dog look me up at 22 Station Road, Holt, Norfolk - You will be very welcome.

Excited and nervous but here goes my new blog and website! I'm sure that there may be a few teething problems but these will get ironed ...
