And soon I will have the confirmed details for my solo exhibition at the Helensburgh Art Hub for April.

I know my studio blog has become quite promotional heavy lately, I have been painting here and there (there has been a lot going on behind the scenes). I have painted one small work, one small sculpture, and four accidental portraits this year. After November's intense flurry of activity (a very productive 2019 really) and this flurry of exhibitions, I have not been in the flow but I am looking forward to finding a new rhythm soon. I also very much looking forward to the spring too.

I hope everyone is well, happy and inspired. Thanks to everyone who has seen my work in the galleries carrying it currently, and thanks for the folks that came to my open studio on March 1 and have supported me through my ko-fi page and through the accidental portraits. Take care until next week!
