Sketching and painting on location is one of my favourite activities. When I can I love to take part in Southampton Urban Sketcher's meet-ups. Of course this is now curtailed….but wait! the admin of Southampton USK are not to be thwarted, and so they enabled us to take part in a virtual sketching tour which has started in and around Ocean Village Southampton, before departing further afield !

Again this year the open studio event has been a delight, many more venues in the brochure, but still a good number of visitors to Romsey Art Group's Mountbatten Gallery We will be having a break from it next year to participate in the Romsey Festival.

Southampton Art Society are exhibiting in the downstairs foyer of the City Gallery from Sat 10th August to Tues 21st September,
Oxford Street, Southampton, in collage and mixed media, is one of my entries.

A rather rainy start to the NFS today, maybe it will cheer up for the rest of the event, but visitors can shelter from the elements in the Art Pavilion, where they will find these cheeky characters, painted in acrylic on box canvas.

Sometimes it's good to change scale, I've just finished this tiny acrylic landscape measuring 12 x12cms as a break from working on larger pieces, also varies pace, as larger works can take a while, so nice to complete something a little faster.... and now back to the big ones! 21-06-19

Latest 'Urban Sketcher' - watercolour, a lovely warm morning at Shamrock Quay in Southampton, boats moored at the pontoons with a huge cruise liner in the background.
