In my painting WHO STOLE THE TOOTHPASTE? (2019) I used Ely Courthouse because I understood that E. H. Shepard had been inspired by it for his illustrations for THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS. Until now I had no proof that he ever visited Ely. Until now #visitely #elymuseum #familyportraits ehshepard
I’ve just made an oil sketch of one of my brother’s car engines for my 2026 painting FORGED IN LIFE. The painting will still be about family but have a climate change element as well. #oilpainting #climatechange #pollution #familyportraits
I’ve been sketching my grandson’s Lego with a ballpoint pen recently. I might want to use it in a painting, sometime #ballpointpen #oilpaintings #familyportraits #visitely
We’ve just been celebrating our daughter’s 50th birthday. I made this painting, entitled ‘Ghosts’ at the time of her christening #familyportraits #oilpainting #visitely #popupgallery
This painting reminded me of the work of Munch when I visited the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol last week. It is all about memories and passed experiences #bristol #oilpaintings

I’ve just visited the Victoria Gallery in Bath where I was a student 60 years ago. I saw this painting by Gillian Ayers, one of our tutors. I liked the way she added and subtracted paint. #oilpaint #victoriagallery #visitbath #visitely #familyportraits
TIME FRAMES - a work in progress. It’s about the inconvenience of death ( you might like to read the text) #oilpainting #familyportraits #popupgallery #visitely
The frame on my painting ‘3001’ was inspired by one I saw in the Uffizi gallery in 2001. I also liked the idea that both pictures involved transport! #uffizigallery #oilpainting #morrisminor #pierodellafrancesca #visitely #familyportraits
I sent a letter to the Ely Standard about our meeting and they turned it into an article! #elystandard #newgalleryforely #visitely
IF THE BOATS COME IN - my painting using the symbol of our annual boat race to show who would make it to Sheringham this year. 36 members of the family made it including those from Spain, America and Australia. #familyportraits #oilpaintings
We’ve been on our annual holiday to Sheringham, staying at St. Luke’s Cottage as usual. I managed to paint this little watercolour by getting up early each morning to do it #familyportraits #visitely gallery
I attended the unveiling of the plaque on Ely Station to celebrate the coming of the line to our city in - 1845. My involvement was tracking down this painting of the event, found in the kitchen at Anglesey Abbey #oilpainting
