The Kalisher Trust Charity Exhibition

Throughout June and July I was involved in a charity exhibition for The Kalisher Trust www.thekalishertrust.org which was held at 54 Doughty Street Chambers in the heart of London. The 45 paintings ranged from urban London, Northern England, Italy and France. Here are all the paintings featured. If anyone is still interested in purchasing a painting, 25% of the sales will go to The Kalisher Trust.

Menton Sketches


Menton on the French Riviera is one of those places where you can easily retire to. Wandering around the old town and seeing the warm rendering of buildings is a great inspiration. Here are a few watercolour sketches.

Plein Air Painting No.8 Late Afternoon Light near Sospel, French Riviera



When you drive inland from the French Cote D’Azur, you find some stunning mountain scenery with wild herbs growing by the roadside. When I found this great view of a provence style building with cyprus trees and distant mountains, I discovered within a few minutes of painting that a colony of ants became very interested in my paintbox, rucsac and myself! This plein air painting was therefore painting very quickly indeed!
