List of paintings for the European Parliament

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Today we had very good light here and a stunning sunset with the Pyrenees in clear sight, I’m told 100 miles away…Mountain_dusk_18.01.10_IMG_6758_d.jpg
I worked on a painting of a Blue funnel steamer entering Liverpool docks by moonlight.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to all my supporters, friends and readers

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

This is to wish you a sincere Merry Christmas and to copy my latest newsletter for those unable to receive the News Letter.  Itzac_eglise_IMG_6583_wp.jpg

Some of you will not have received my email Christmas card and new Christmas News letter, copy below.

Reasons for this include bounced and blocked emails (more on that below).

The Internet can be bizarre, I’d had a reply from Robin Knox-Johnston, star of my “Roaring Forties” painting, then got an, INVALID RECIPIENT message re the address! (more…)

Back in the picture or in this case, marine prints

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Marine prints and marine painting back on the agenda, see the list below?

At last I am able to again  accept offers of exhibitions!

Despite and because of the severe weather making roads all but impassable and much other activity difficult,  I have finally catalogued the framed marine prints here.  Itzac_Noel_IMG_6656_d.jpg

One at least is still missing, where is it? (more…)

Snow and more snow

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

Seems like a good day to catalogue my work, my marine painting and marine prints in particular.

My car is not going any ware for a while… Ma_voiture_IMG_6579_wp.jpg

I have been invited to show next year at the European Parliament, quite an honour, very very few British artists have show, Exhibit at the European Parliament

Still quad bike weather here and even the quad bike is sliding.  Quad_solution_IMG_6609_d.jpg

The roads remain almost impassable.

We are hearing from Castelnau, little traffic and only cars with chains are moving safely around hereand even them with caution.

Alternative marketing for artists?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

While “known” for marine art, my interests as you dear blogreader will be aware are wider, much wider.

I invested quite a lot of time while in Plymouth exploring this topic with some distinguished professional artists including Tim Thompson, Adrian Phippen, David Folley, also several of the more promising young bloods including Rob Cordingley. (more…)

A greatful gift

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Plymouth Naval History Library staff have been hugely helpful  with my research over many years.

Masterpiece … … Renowned Marine artist has presented a stunning framed print to Plymouth Central Library” recorded The Herald and The Extra, while less helpfully leaving out my web site or contact details.   Herald_13.11.09_d.JPG

I felt is was about time I did some thing more tangible to show my appreciation to the staff at Plymouth Central Library , something they would like. (more…)

Monaco Yacht Show, day 3

Friday, September 25th, 2009

At the Monaco Yacht Show 2009, Port Hercule, Monte Carlo, this was to be my first full working day in the world of superyachts, , meeting super yacht people, excluding the 4 commissions last year.

These remarkable people rapidly changed my perspective of the super yacht world.pass_1_wp.JPG

For a start, The Monaco Yacht Show perhaps surprisingly has a carbon neutral certificate and advertises this fact with enthusiasm and when one learns more of he Monaco Yacht Show organisers achievements, with justifiable pride. (more…)
