I am trying out different ways of sharing how I make my paintings. Sometimes I don’t have time to make the full time time lapse. Any way here it is a little film I made using iMovie for the first time. It’s of a painting I did yesterday of the path to Church Hill from Hilary’s Way, Kingsnorth.

You looking at me looking at Max. A painting watching itself being watched In July last year my friend Jo Beer’s painting of Max was selected to appear in the National Portrait Gallery. This is my attempt to capture me looking at her painting from the paintings viewpoint. #metaart #realismart

Two paintings from Porthtowan. Heavy rain put a stop to the first painting. Returning another day, I decided to start a new painting. In my mind these two pictures represent my cancer journey. "Even after the darkest of nights the sun will rise; tomorrow we go again" Victor Hugo - Les Miserables.

Katy. Oil on canvas painting. I am so very grateful for the care of Katy and the rest of the chemotherapy team at Ashford’s William Harvey Hospital. Still here, thirty months after a six to twelve months probable live expectancy prognosis. Thank you each and every one of you. #cancerthriver

Wheatfield in Auvers-sur-Oise (facing towards Valmondois). Oil on canvas Painting. Vincent van Gogh’s view for his painting “Wheatfield with crows” was about 120 degrees to my left. I am sure he painted a picture facing in this direction too but it’s just less popular than “Wheatfield with crows”
