I can hardly believe Christmas has passed and we are embarking on not only a new year, but a new decade. Such opportunity awaits, so exciting!
What better way to begin than with the countryside offering itself as a blank canvas.  We are currently snowed in, and have been off and on for the past to weeks.  Snow is such a powerful cleanser, I can't help but have a good feeling about the year ahead.

I've been a little quiet of late, recovering from an intense and hectic year, flu finally caught up and forced me to put my feet up, but you can't keep a good man (or woman) down for long, and I'm already planning my diary for 2010, albeit incorporating a slightly more sensible timetable!

The New Year has already offered up a hugely exciting opportunity in The Beryl Cook exhibition at The McNeill Gallery in Radlett, Herts, who will be showing my paintings alongside the work of the great lady herself.  What a way to begin the year.

I have the beginning of a new collection which I will be working on over the next few months and the studion is full of canvases in varying sizes. I can't wait to get stuck in to see how they all turn out!

On that note, I will wish you a happy, healthy, prosperous 2010 to everyone, lets make it a good one!
