"Expressions"

My solo exhibition at the Wey Gallery in Godalming will be on display for the last time today and has been a wonderful success.Visitors to the gallery gave incredible feedabck on the collection and many favourite pieces will now be leaving for collectors homes.

It has been, as always a fabulous experience working with the gallery who always run such professional exhibitions for established artists. We are already discussing the possibility of an exciting collection for 2013 as a future show.

When everything comes together from a close relationship with an experienced gallery, life as an artist is really sheer pleasure.The work involved in pulling a collection together behind the scenes and then seeing the body of work hung so beautifully really is part of my career that I fully relish and look forward to.

If you get a chance to see the collection before the close of day I can certainly recommend a visit, to inspire, as the show is full of vibrant colour.

A few paintings will remain at the gallery and will be on show over the Summer.

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.
