Summer
It has been a strange Summer with weeks of intense heat and no rain. The landscape is bone dry, the fields bleached, and Autumn appears to be arriving a month early.
I have managed to paint directly from the landscape several times, before my paints started melting, and have built a collection of work which will be for sale in September.
There has been a lot of interest in my Open Studio event, so much so that it is already over subscribed. If you missed out and would like to visit my studio/shed do let me know and I may well open again later in the year.
The best way of being the first to know of upcoming events is to subscribe to my newsletter which is sent out sporadically, so I am not constantly in your inbox.
New paintings from the Open Studio will also be online in mid-September.

Note: Subscribing to my newsletter
When you subscribe you will get a second email to confirm that you want to receive my newsletter. I'm afraid that if you miss this or don't confirm, you will not get a newsletter. There are quite a few 'pending' subscribers so if you have not been receiving my newsletters it may be that you need to confirm. Apologies for the long explanation!

The Garden
When we moved into the Shippen, the garden was a grassed area bordered by a traditional mixed hedge. It was a blank canvas. Wildegoose Nursery planned and planted a wonderful mix of perennials and grasses that have matured into a haven for birds and insects.
Seasonal sketches of the garden will be for sale in the Garden Collection and Available Work.

Cantlop
Cantlop is the geographic centre of Shropshire. The name was first recorded in the Domesday Book as Cantelop and could have been named by Norman knights, from chante lou (sing wolf). These days it is a slightly untidy settlement of houses, converted barns and farms, and is pleasantly unremarkable, with the exception of the historic Cantlop Pump.
