Despite the difficulties of the pandemic, 2020 saw a couple of landmarks in my practice with the completion of the '20 Books=20 Paintings' series, and reaching 50 paintings (now 51) in the ongoing 'Porthleven' series. I also exhibited a couple of pieces in the Winter Group Show at Linden Hall Studio in Deal: 'Porthleven 51 - (Weight of Colour)' & 'City of Glass 62 - (westsidestory)'. This year, I have added three more paintings to the 'Penzance' series and recently completed an interpretation of Cezanne's 'Large Bathers'. 

I'm looking forward to a couple of solo-shows later this year (fingers crossed), at the Crypt Gallery, St.Ives 29 May - 4 June and 'Painting the Novel' at Linden Hall Studio 26 - June 26 - 24 July. I'll be showing the completed '20 Books=20 Paintings' series for the first time, alongside works inspired by the novels of Paul Auster, Don deLillo and John Boyne.
