Since 2017, arts funding from national bodies, including for drama, has been cut by 16% in real terms across the UK.

In 2024, 41% of schools no longer enter any pupils for Drama GCSE.

On the easel. A little, unfinished oil of Falesia, near Vilamoura, Portugal. I did some watercolours there, earlier this year and I’m working some up into looser work in oil. I’m enjoying it and looking forward to going back, next year.

This time last year, we were preparing to visit the Algarve, for the first time. Here are some of the watercolour studies I made there. I’m finally getting around to working them up into oil paintings. Watch this space….
