After carving lino and wood blocks for over 20 years my arm needed and rest and my mind needed a reset. So I've been thoroughly enjoying following Gabriella Buckingham's online course 'Experimental Still Life' and the current live online version is particularly inspiring. You can find out more about her courses here.

I've updated my web site and the Paintings page now shows the feed from my @walkinglooking painting Instagram account. On there I share my paintings and sketches, including real-life adventures in my travel sketchbooks.

I recently delivered some of my linocuts to the Church Street Gallery in Saffron Walden. This beautifully curated gallery is opposite the footpath to the church in what has just been declared the UK's best place to live! So that's two good reasons to explore the delights of Saffron Walden, I can also recommend visiting the Fry Gallery and there are many lovely independent shop and cafés.
