Painter of people & places at home & abroad

ARTISTS AND CORVID-19

With a single brushstroke, the pandemic has taken away all the plans artists had for 2020. Changing direction with art to new ways is almost impossible at such short notice. Earnings have vanished and many of us don't qualify for help from the Government.

I am offering many of my paintings at temporarily very reduced prices so, if you would like to cheer up your wall with a painting, do please contact me remembering to say which painting and I will get back to you. There may be Framed or Unframed options.

I have more paintings available there under this scheme.

COVID-19 has left many artists without work, exhibitions, teaching, technical support, gallery work and sales have disappeared.

To help, artist Matthew Burrow has created Artist Support Pledge. It's simple. An artist posts images of their work to sell for no more than £200 each (not including P&P). Anyone can then buy the work. Every time the artist reaches £1000 of sales, they pledge to buy another artist's work for £200.

AWARDS

July 2020 - Highly Commended, Vintage Fergusons in the professional artists category at Patchings Art Festival 2020, 9-10 July.

May 2020 - Special Merit, Dozing Amongst The Daisies, Shetland Islands in the worldwide Seascape online competition held by Light Space & Time. 601 entries from 24 countries:

“These are the artists and their artwork which we felt could easily have been placed higher but due to the size constraints in each media category, this art was placed in this special category. Any of the Special Merit art, in many cases, is interchangeable with the best art that we selected for the top tier.”

(NB The higher category consisted of 10 paintings. 2nd time it has been awarded Special Merit in LS&T worldwide competitions.)
