Valentine's Day is approaching, so how about a Limited edition print (£75), Commission a special painting from £200 (be quick) or how about a tailor made Painting Workshop for two from £50? Come and see what I have in the way of Arty Gifts!
CAREERS IN ART FOR THOSE WITH DISABILITIES.Aberon have invited me to mentor/tutor their on-line Art & Creative subject Degrees for those with disabilities or permanent life changes due to illness/injury or mental health issues. They offer a FANTASTIC DEAL. All fees and equipment are funded, even the computer, printer etc and even internet connection...so if you know of anyone who would fit into this category and would like to do a degree from the comfort of home, give me a nudge and we'll talk it through.
Short Courses all full up now and the one or two places that were available.. South Shields & Whitburn are now taken with the help of the South Shields gazette who ran a feature on me and my teaching.
New Dates set for Eldon Garden Full workshops, both in Acrylic and Watercolour. Only 5 in a group here so lots of time for each learner See workshop page for all details.
Thank you to all who have supported my business throughout 2011, to all those who have bought Artwork, to the Art societies who have invited me to demonstrate and to all the regulars painters that attend my classes week in week out and in-fact year in year out for some of you. YOU are what make my classes special. THANK YOU X
"SPOOKED" Acrylic on canvas with Iridescent paint to add a shimmer to the water & moonlight. £600.00 (Also available in LTD edition print from £75)
2012 looks like being a busy year, with all my regular commitments and now I also have the lovely studio in Newcastle. I am busy planning a series of workshops for this venue, so keep an eyet on the Studio and Workshop pages for details. If you would like to arrange a private workshop for yourself one to one or with a small group of friends to maybe "brush up" (pardon the pun) on a secific medium perhaps, we can discuss a date and time that is mutually convenient.
Meantime I have an Introduction/refresher course set starting Tuesday 24th 10.30-12.30 5 sessions at the introductory price of just £45 for the course. Materials can be provided for complete beginners.

Thanks Charlie! everyone enjoyed the fun and food and especially my ginger and apple punch..recipe...
