Celebrate Spring Exhibition

The Frame Gallery

Odiham

Hampshire UK

I have just returned from "The Frame" Gallery having seen most of my work already in place for the opening of " Celebrate Spring" this Friday at five thirty in the evening. Wine will be flowing to celebrate the occasion and the gallery is bursting with fresh spring colours in subjects ranging from primroses,daffodils to my favourite animals and of course racing scenes.

This interesting gallery nestles in Odiham High Street and displays work by Pip McGarry, Paul Banning RI and Roger Dellar RI along with many more leading artists. There is a lovely orginal by Kate Wyatt and my own " Hare today,Gone Tomorrow" faces you as you walk in through the door. Now I have seen this particular hare in the gorgeous oak frame I really AM tempted to change my mind and keep it!

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.
