The American Widow at the Affordable Art Fair, Battersea

My Mail on-line is now carrying an article about the forthcoming Affordable Art Fair in Battersea Park, London. The report features one of my paintings, which will be on show at the fair at the Enid Lawson Gallery stand. To read the report, click here:

The other event on the horizon is a joint exhibition at the local library in Bromley of drawings by Heather Stewart-Jones and myself together with a few poems by Sean Elliott.

Heather and I both use the handwriting app of the Sony Reader as a portable sketchbook. Here's another example of one of my Sony Reader drawings:

This drawing was inspired by a self-portrait by Max Beckman.
 
Sometimes I rework the drawings a little, as I've done with the drawing below of one of my cats, Eddie:

But more often than not I use the drawings as a basis for a painting, as with The American Widow, which now features in the My Mail on-line article.
