Prepping work for my #openstudio on 25-27 May as part of #osnotts2024 - I’m venue 10 - thank you to @osnotts.Spotted this at @newstead_abbey last week - a peacock sculpture being closely inspected by its real life muse.A run through of my paintings in the @patchings_art spring-themed group #exhibition - ends Sunday 5 May.Final piece of mine in the @patchings_art 'Welcome to Spring' #exhibition which ends this weekend (last day 5 May) - 'The Gilstrap and Bandstand, Newark-on-Trent' (Oil on Canvas, 51x51cm, £825 framed)I like this informal view of the @southwellminster with its glimpse of silhouetted pepper pots over garden hedges and through mature trees all ready for their springtime fuse to be ignited. Whenever I’ve strayed along Bishop's Drive, I’ve always noted the contrast between the grandeur of the ecclesiastical facade rising imposingly behind the domesticity of this unassuming framed wooden door for the garden beyond.Search Susan’s blog

O3 Gallery – Harbour Wall and Chapel Hill, Polperro
Although Polperro does not have grand architecture, the array of lovely vernacular cottages lining its topography are very appealing. In this composition there is also a distinctive little grouping of trees breaking the horizon line. I liked the way in … Continue reading

O3 Gallery – The Old Harbour Wall at Polperro
After the throng of St Ives in season, Polperro seems like an undiscovered tranquil location. Perhaps it is the more tightly constructed geography surrounding the harbour that protects it and promotes the feeling of shelter from the world. In this painting I … Continue reading
