1. Cotton Wool & Loo Rolls

   Posted on 12:00pm Sunday 2nd Jul 2017

   When I was a child we did not have much but we made the most of what we did. Me & my mam loved to make things & one of my favorite things was a snow castle with its own snowy garden full of interesting things, made from toilet rolls & loads of cotton wool. I always remember the first snow castle advent calendar my Mam made for me. She hid little presents under the cotton wool & I was allowed to find one each December day. There were little Deer & Snowmen but my favorite were the tiny plastic ballerinas which are normally to be found on top of cakes. How jealous was my best friend when I came to school with a ballerina & all she got was chocolates from her advent! 
   P.S. Not quite ready for Christmas yet, but I need some new designs for Christmas Magazine Adverts!

3. Hadrian's Wall Again.

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 15th May 2017

   God loves a trier, I have painted this scene in the hope of getting an order from "The Sill" a new Landscape Discovery Centre in Northumberland National Park which is due to open this summer. If you walk from the Sill car park to Hadrian's Wall you will come across this beautiful view. I already have a few paintings inspired by Hadrian's Wall which I painted for the Northumberland Tourist Information shops which have now all shut. Oh well, where one "gate" closes another one opens I hope!
