Winning Streak: Exhibitions 2012

"Winning Streak"

A watercolour from my new collections.

I am quietly working in my studio on a new collection of horse racing paintings. Each seems to have more movement than the last and I find my heart racing each time I add colour or brushmarks to every new composition.

I have favourites,the one above is one of them and I won't want to part with it which is a very good feeling.

Please get to my exhibitions early if you would like to see the full collection.

My first exhibition opens at the Wey Gallery on 27th May in Godalming. Last year paintings at my first solo there disappeared at the Private Preview.

For full details please see my web site.

N.B :New paintings from the collections will be added to my online gallery for viewing only once the shows are open.

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.
