Wonderful weather to be out and about sketching this summer of 2018.
Friends introduced me to the area around Grosmont with its beautiful woodland, high places looking over steep valleys and sleepy ravines where the Murk Esk runs over water splashes and into quiet tree-surrounded lagoons. So, several days spent in high summer, all of us enjoying days out sketching, with no rain or high winds to interrupt the work, followed by refreshments at the local friendly cafes. There's more to Grosmont than steam trains(although they're a wonderful sight too).

March 31 is the first day of our exhibition, 'A Sense of Place' for the National Trust at Nunnington Hall, near Helmsley. It's also an opportunity to meet the four of us, Anne Thornhill, Paul Blackwell, Peter Hicks and me as we will be there from 11.00am to 3.00pm. We have all enjoyed working at some of the most beautiful sites and lovely buildings and hope that we have done justice to some of the Nation's treasured possessions.

This year is a year of decision and work. After four busy and successful exhibitions last year I feel I need a year t consider my work and spend more time looking! Anyway next year looks as if it will be another busy one with two possible major exhibitions still to be painted for!
So this year my work's in the Coast Gallery, Cloughton near Scarborough, and some pictures will be in group exhibitions, such as the forthcoming Whitby Art Society Annual selling exhibition from 1st April to 7 May at the Pannett Gallery in Whitby.
