Celebrate Spring Exhibition: Opens Tonight

Beauty of Spring

Celebrate Spring Exhibition

Original Watercolour

Last night I visited The Frame Gallery in Odiham Hampshire to deliver books for signing tonight as they had sold out. I also delivered new cards including "Mothers Love" , a Mother and Baby elephant.

The gallery is full of the spirit of Spring and Easter and tonight at five thirty there will be a gallery party with wine flowing to launch the exhibition.

Everyone is welcome to the event so if you are near please drop by and say Hello. In case you wish to make a night of it there are many wonderful country pubs and resturants near by. As the weather was so wonderful last night we all sat oustide the George opposite the gallery last night to unwind after the day and enjoy the early evening sunshine. It felt as though I was back living in France sitting outside watching the world go by. I think tonight the weather is going to be just as fabulous.

It looks as though its going to be a superb evening!

The Artist Magazine : Book Review

Jean Haines' Atmospheric Watercolours

"The book is nothing less than a paean to the wet in wet technique. If that's your thing, prepare to be amazed. Jean Haines credits Jean Louis Morelle, and in many ways this book is the sequel to Morelle's remarkable, but very technical work, showing the wealth of creative possibilities the technique offers. A lot of the images are barely recognisable and yet you instinctively know what they are. I wish I knew how, because this is impressionism taken to its logical conclusion and reminiscent of some of the later work by JMW Turner. You will have to take it from me that "First signs of a face appearing magically from a first wash of watercolour" is pure alchemy. This is an extraordinary book."

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour:" Fastest Selling DVD!

"Amazing Ways With Watercolour" from Town House Films is the fastest selling DVD with the company to date! Record breaking pre-orders for this much awaited film saw requests for copies flooding in from all over the world. A wonderful introduction into working with watercolour minus the use of a preliminary sketch this DVD removes the fear, stress or pressure from worry about how to use watercolour. Instead the focus is on having fun, enjoying vibrant colour combinations and allowing the medium to create the subjects with just a little help from the artist. A really exciting new DVD to own. Whilst the DVD sold out in the first few months since its' release due to popularity it is now in stock and available directly from Town House Films.
