Paris café scenes

Canal St Martin

Another sketch from my series of the Canal St Martin. I'm hoping to do some more drawing this weekend, and am looking forward to developing my studies into paintings, or possibly prints, at some point soon...

Autumn in Paris

Some sketches I did last weekend along Canal St Martin and near the Marie du 19ème.

Paris when it sizzles

Some drawings and watercolours from my week in Paris.

Jewellery

Here are some pieces of jewellery I made recently, using Perspex, silver and other metals. Watch this space for more pictures...I hope to start selling at some point soon.

Sculpture in the Close

Every two years my old Cambridge college, Jesus, hosts a wonderful outdoor exhibition of sculpture. It's called 'Sculpture in the Close'. Here are some pictures from this year's show, which I took at the opening. NB, the dinosaurs are now part of Jesus's permanent collection. They're by Jake & Dinos Chapman and first went on show at the last Sculpture in the Close in 2009. I think they look lovely nestled between the football pitch and Library Court.

Summer Painting

Spent three days drawing and painting earlier this week - here are some pictures of my work, and of the studio which is magnificent. It's set within what used to be an orphanage and has high ceilings and beautiful crescent shaped windows.

Croatia

Just returned from beautiful, sunny Croatia where I went on a sea kayaking tour around Hvar and other islands. It was spectacular and I want to go back! Here are some small sketches - didn't have time to do anything bigger but I took lots of pictures so I hope to do some more paintings now I'm back.

Life Class

Last autumn I set up life drawing sessions at my work. They take place every fortnight or so, on Wednesday evenings, and they're going really well. Here are some pictures from a Watteau-inspired session we did a few weeks ago.
