Loved the episode. The standard at the Chagford show was superb. Really good clips of John and the elephant, and the soaring eagle. If you missed it watch again on Sunday. Nice interview with Christine Perryman and good views of the Chapel at Arts and Crafts in The Chapel. I will be watching again on Sun!

Anne Read and I spent yesterday morning hanging pieces at The White Horse, Moretonhampstead. The exhibition is mainly pastel works and will be hanging from October until January inthe Stable Room. We’re planning a private viewing on Saturday 22nd Oct, for those who would like an invite, and Anne is opening her new shop pArt of The Country on Station Road in Moretonhampstead that day. The glimpses I’ve seen so far look very exiting. I particularly like the courtyard and the attractive recycled furniture, but then, I’m spoilt for choice with the mosaics and decopatch – I just love shiny things.
Workshops will continue to run at Anne’s studio in the Chapel on Station Road – in fact, I’m running Play with Pastels there on 19th November – come and join in!

Devon Artist Network is taking over the Theatre Bar at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter for the whole of October. I’m contributing four pastel pieces to the exhibition that I think capture the essence of my coastal as well as moorland work. Come and take a look at us all – you never know, you might find an early Christmas present.
And watch this space for a new gallery launch – coming soon……..

The Lake, Lower Dacum Farm, Out in The Open
So, there’s plenty of time to catch up with all those paintings that I have in my head. Here’s the latest one, which has been pending since we went away in April. It’s the lake at Lower Dacum Farm, Out in The Open – another watery theme.

Finally, the exhibition is hung in Old Schools, in The Square, Hatherleigh. I’ll be there stewarding and signing books on Sunday 11-3pm. Pop in and say ‘Hi’ Even if you don’t say ‘Hi’, whiy not visit the festival anyway, there’s lots to do: live bands in the marquee in The Square, musical events, workshops, demonstrations, exhibitions, theatre, FOOD….. The list goes on.

We’re gearing up for the annual Hatherleigh Arts Festival from 28th to 31st July, so there’s a buzz in the household as we sort out hanging equipment and frantically finish pieces ready for framing. Why do I always leave thing so late! Brochures are out now, so if anyone would like one post a comment here. Here’s a taster:
Reflections of Summer
Catherine Kennedy at the Blue Indigo Gallery in Teignmouth has kindly agreed to hang four of my paintings for a few months, so see how they go. So, if anyone’s in Teignmouth and wants to have a look pop in to the gallery. It’s in The Little Triangle, just off the sea front, where the fountains and the nice cafes are.
There’s been precious little time for painting at the minute, but here are two of the latest, which I think will probably go to the hatherleigh Arts Festival in summer:
