Here is my new painting of two sailboats heading to Dittisham village. Diitisham is a small village in Devon on the River Dart between Totnes and Dartmouth.  To find out more about Dittisham follow the link below

Last summer I was on a river cruise and as we approached Dittisham two sail boats began two slalom around the bigger boat that I was on. There was a good breeze so their sails were fully extended, they were racing each other back and forth across the river. I had my camera at the ready and fired off numerous shots. I knew imediately it would make a good painting as the light was so striking.

Here are a few photos from the opening night of my solo exhibition at The Bracken Gallery. Thankyou to all who came along, you made it a great evening.

Here is my new painting of Dartmoor. Anyone who has driven across the high road on Dartmoor cannot fail to have been impressed with the view of this tor. It is called Vixen Tor and stands out like a huge granite monolith from the hillside. It often features quite heavily in the Southwest news as there is an on-going land access dispute. It is a pity that walkers, photographers and artists cannot get any closer to the Tor than the ponies in my painting!!!! You can read all about this at the following link.
