I’ve been loving the newly re-opened Hastings Pier and the lovely weather we’ve had recently. I’ve also managed to capture some of my musical friends, and Nicky’s choir.
I’m putting on a charity show of portraits of the Old Codgers and WAGs (Women Ageing Gracefully) at the Arts Forum from 9th March. Here’s a sneak preview of the paintings I’ll be exhibiting.
Codgers, WAGs & Other Friends
March 10th – 22nd 2015
Preview Friday 13th March 6:30 – 8:30
Hastings Arts Forum
36 Marina, St Leonards on Sea
This is a charity sale, and all of the paintings are going to be offered for a voluntary donation to the charity Mermaids *
That could be 1p or £1,000,000!
If you can’t get along to the show, but want to see your portrait, just let me know and we can arrange a pre-preview.

*As many of you know, my oldest son Biff is a transgender man.
Mermaids is a fabulous charity that helps transgender children, their families and carers during what can be a very difficult time.
Since Christmas 2012 I’ve made series of drawings on my Kindle Fire HD whilst out and about, or worked up on my MacBook Pro with a Wacom Bamboo graphics pad at home.

I spent a wonderful week staying in the Cannaregio in Venice in March 2013. Whilst I was there I sketched on my Kindle Fire HD as well as doing pencil drawings in my normal sketchbook. Here are the results.
