Well , its been a while since my last post . without going into things too much , its been a sad difficult and delightful time and I am much stronger than I ever knew . Since I last bogged I have won the David Shepherd Wildlife artist of the year "Wild Places " award  twice more . Three years running is a rather good record I think . :-) I have also been featured in Kent today  , leisure painter and David shepherd wildlife matters magazine . The Competition has even been covered by the wall street journal . Its a great thing to be part of .
Next thing for me ? a studio revamp . The old design isn't working for me and over the years I have changed the way I paint .
This is an exciting time . I have been developing my printmaking skills and can now carve both linocut and woodcuts and I have a new range of greetings cards and postcards out with more to follow . I plan to list everything on my etsy shop in the new year . Links will follow .
 Hope you all had a great christmas and I wish you a happy new year .

My new years resolution ? to get organised and get art done :-)
