I decided to take a long, lingering look back at the past twelve months and piece together the paintings that best reflected the work I had done and the progress I have made. I think as artists we are always learning – whether it be about the technicalities of paint, discovering new applications or learning more about ourselves so it’s good to sometimes look back on the 80% you have achieved and not always at the 20% you haven’t.
Go take a look at what you were painting a year ago and see what I mean. When I look back I am staggered by what I am painting now, even though I remain pleased with output from a year ago. If we are constantly amazed by this kind of reflection then it must mean we are growing and getting better. I like to think that having your own mini retrospective is a good way of telling yourself you’ve done OK, which we all need to hear from time to time – especially from ourselves rather than others.
Book yourself on one of the most exhilarating and incredible days you can have by coming to paint with me on one of my Painting Experiences. No experience necessary, all materials are provided, lunch at a local pub and you'll also get your own hand-crafted work of art personally delivered back to you a week later to any UK mainland address; all inclusive in the price - how cool is that? Don't delay - book today... It's unlike any other experience you will ever have, and that's a promise!

Thanks dude. I have never been a drinker so I guess I’ll have to rely on being an annoying git instead….
