We set out early this morning in the rain and winds to hang paintings for the last Swallowtails Fine Artists Exhibition of 2023. Five hours, a bacon bap and several mugs of tea later and the walls are now looking great. So good to see both new and familiar faces and hear positive comments. If you are about near NWT Cley, do pop in and take a look!
28 October 2023
Just back from the super framer to collect work ready for my next exhibition outing with Swallowtail Fine Artists at NWT Cley starting on 8 November 2023. A magnificent venue for a walk for a spot of birdwatching, followed by tea and cake in the cafe!
Come and take a look if you’re in the area!

A couple of years ago I was asked if I would consider donating a painting to the Spinal Injuries Association (SIA) Head Office in Milton Keynes.Having been a member of the SIA for many years, it is a charity very close to my heart. This week I was asked if I would be happy to provide the SIA with a short biography to be placed on a plaque underneath the large hare painting I donated in 2021 because people often ask about the artwork on the wall. I was delighted to oblige and hopefully it inspires others, paralysed or not, to explore their creative side!
Meanwhile, not much productivity here at AJ Pastel Paintings HQ due to a problematic elbow! Ho hum...
11 October 2023
One of the things I love most is receiving parcels from Jacksons Art with my newly ordered art materials, whether it is a new pencil, paper, paint or brushs. Today I have taken delivery of some lovely new buttery Unison pastels - can't wait to start experimenting with some super new colours.
