(Send a message if you are interested pre-exhibiting.) Sorting out new pieces and framing, clearing older work, interesting for me to see how my work changes. I still love loose, vibrant watercolour.

Exhibition over, next one in Whitstable at the end of the month, @TheFishslabGallery August 24th – 31st. Thank you everyone who came in to @thehalpernpop #Rochester and chatted, bought cards and bought artwork. These are some of the ones sold….

All set up for a week in this beautiful sunny room. Open from 10:00am to 4:00pm. I will be there for most of the day working a bit, listening to the ambient sounds of conversations and soft jazzy music coming from the bar and restaurant. Come in and say “hi” if you’re free.

Ruthlessly sorting out the browser and selecting the paintings for the exhibition in Rochester starting next Wednesday at the Halpern Pop, at the beautiful newly restored Conservancy Building (great bar and cafe).

Finished. This is a 1 metre x 1 metre watercolour. I really needed to do all those things that we tell our students to do, make pencil studies, trial paper types (this was a giant sheet of watercolour paper from Atlantis) make colour studies, get ‘real life’ examples for direct observational studies, take photos, plan and…. Start.

Oil on canvas, painted ‘en plein air’ on Whitstable beach just before a, storm. I enjoyed the very different way I had to paint, not much underpainting and completed rapidly before the storm. The local colours also took me into a palette that I don’t usually use and which I liked a lot.

Watercolour, painted on Saunders Waterford so it’s mounted to show the deckle edges. Simple black frame as customer wanted.
