Today I completed a little painting of the worker’s cottage at Port Sunlight Museum. Tinged with a sunlight soap glow. Go to the museum and explore inside the cottage, which is furnished in period style. I’m hoping to do an interior view of it one day. #painting #wirral

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT It’s the last day to vote for my painting ‘The Hotel California, Birkenhead’ in the VAO international art finals. Romantic, but not rose tinted, and not the kind of place that usually gets international attention. visual-artists.org/vao26-people... #merseyside #painting

I missed my train back from Port Sunlight a spent the time admiring The Tea Rooms opposite the station. Once the village post office, now a carefully stewarded piece of ‘forever England’. I particularly like the phone boxes. Painted in a warm 20th century glow on wood panel. #painting #portsunlight

3 days left to vote for my painting ‘The Hotel California, Birkenhead’ in the VAO international art finals. It’s a love letter to gritty Birkenhead. Romantic, but not rose tinted, and not the kind of view that usually gets international attention. visual-artists.org/vao26-people... #merseyside

🖼️ I’ve been back over in beautiful Port Sunlight to discuss future exhibitions/collaborations (more later) I popped into the museum shop to find some of my prints sold out 💕 They now have all my stock and I’m making more for the end of next week. So thrilled! Thank you to all who brought one. #art

Yesterday I finished painting the graveyard of St Mary’s Church in Woolton. My painting isn’t sombre, but fills the space with light and colour. The old stones celebrate lives well lived, sheltered by the church and trees. #graveyard #liverpool #painting

Colourful panoramic view with gravestones in the foreground and the gables of a simple church beyond. The graveyard is surrounded by trees, broken through with shafts of light.

Today’s plein-air painting done with The Liverpool Artists is of Papillon on the corner of Falkner Street and Hope street. I made sure the cathedral is in the background of the view. The painting captures the warm, bright day and almost Parisian air in its colourful palette. #liverpool #painting

It was really lovely to meet up with Simon. We discussed how art and place design have informed each other in my professional working and creative life. On reflection, I think the notions of making a collage and working with what we have are central to this.
