Half my painting blew off from the battering sea winds during the winter. So now the boards gone back up I’m wondering what to paint on it. Might build on what’s left of the groyne and add a bit of a twist. Or a complete change might be in order. Bright, bold, simple design that draws attention to my name, treating it more like an advert. I could simply cheat for the time being and put a poster up like some others have done.

Commissioned to do another family portrait, using real pebbles for the heads. May need to stock up on more pebble heads from the beach tomorrow.

I’m very pleased to hear that my painting raised £160 for Teenage Cancer Trust in the art auction held on Thursday 14th June 2012. A total of £1,500 was raised for the charity from the sale of donated artworks by renowned local artists. Excellent stuff!
