A few from the The Pastel Society in London which opened this week.
My first time exhibiting as a Member and delighted to be selected for the Unison Colour Member award for ‘Found Beachcombing 3’.
It’s an incredible exhibition & runs until February 7th at Mall Galleries. www.Mallgalleries.org.uk
Thankyou for sharing!
Thanks so much Eva!
I am honoured to be exhibiting 4 pastel paintings at the 2026 Pastel Society exhibition at The Mall Galleries in London.
The 127th annual Pastel Society exhibition will be open to the public between January 21st - February 7th 2026.
Karl Singporewala: Cosmos, Memory, Scale is on at SOAS Gallery, London, until 13th December. Entrance is free, and it is a selling exhibition. Read more about this excellent show in my review for @fadmagazine.com.web.brid.gy and plan your visit now: buff.ly/FD3NhR2 #LondonArtCritic
‘Found Beachcoming 3’ pastel painting features feathers from seabirds amongst the shells, glass & seaweed.
Our seabirds are treasures in themselves & their ‘beach coming’, somewhat more essential than ours.
Each collection trip to a beach is also a return- of items borrowed to draw and paint.

The keen attention to detail of 'Porta dei Canonici, Duomo in Florence,' (1879) make it one of Henry Roderick Newman's most remarkable paintings. John Ruskin tried to buy this picture but Newman sold it elsewhere; Ruskin later commissioned a replica.
A few soft pastel works by my fabulous students from my ‘Expermental Landscapes’ workshop this weekend at The Hearth Arts Centre in Northumberland. We had several newbies to pastel as well as more experienced artists. Well done everyone!
Thankyou!
Thankyou

Thankyou! And also for sharing my posts - very kind 🙏
Just finished the latest in my ‘Found Sea Glass’ series. This is number 10. Will there be more? Good question…..🤔

My Dad was diagnosed with cancer just over a year ago.
Unable to spend much time on artwork, I would grab a few hours here & there, between hospital trips.
Focussing on light, colour & texture helped me to cope & continues to be a comfort, following Dad’s passing.
I am grateful to have this.
A very busy weekend delivering paintings and walking in Northumberland.
‘Found Sea Glass 8’, ‘Found Sea Glass 1’ and ‘Mussel Shells’ are now all available with the fabulous Number Four Gallery at beautiful St.Abbs in the Scottish Borders.
Thankyou for sharing!
‘Serendipity’, is just one of my 4 pastel works which will be heading to Gallery 45 next week. ‘Coastal Stories’ will be an exhibition of works by Artists from across the region.
Exhibition runs Saturday 27 September- Thursday 6 November.
Getting ready for my ‘Coastlines’ pastel workshop next week at The Hearth Arts Centre in Northumberland. All my 2025 workshops are now full but I am taking bookings for Spring 2026. Head to my website for details.
Delighted that ‘Dance of The Sea’ has sold 🔴 at Number Four Gallery in beautiful St.Abbs.
Thankyou so much to the generous buyer and to Chris and Jenny at the gallery.
This is a huge story.
Don't let him get away with it.

I have been absent due to family bereavement. My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago. I am taking a break to navigate a new emotional landscape which is proving very difficult.
I leave you with my latest soft pastel work, ‘Flower of The Deep’.
Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Thankyou for your kind comment Eva. Yes, it’s very fiddly because I am using soft pastels, which are quite chunky, to do detail work. I also don’t have much time each day to actually work either, which is slowing progress but hopefully will get finished this week.
On the easel today.
Soft pastel.
One in progress and another just back from the framers.
