.......Well , its been a bit quiet of late on here , mainly due to pressure of work - and life happening when you're busy making other plans.........
I have been kept very busy working on drawing commissions , three sketches for a design practise in London for a high-end domestic residence and a couple for an interior designer for hotel in a continental city . Along with this we were filming at Velvet Hotel in Manchester for an Australian tv production company - more in the next posting - and desperately trying to keep up with my MA work for the first cut-off assessment point in May ; again , more in a future posting.
All this and trying to run a design practise - and we still find time to go out to France on the car ferry to Santander , at which point , having landed in Spain , we promptly get mugged - passports , credit cards , documents , the lot . If I wasn't so pissed off , it was actually quite a slick operation. The thing that was most frustrating / energy sapping / time consuming was the ensuing beaurocracy ...........moral , don't get mugged in Spain and keep all your documents / cards etc in 27 different locations about your person - not all in one.

THE ART MOB'S OUT TONIGHT
.......and as an aspiring visualiser , one of the professional bodies that I belong to is The Society of Architectural Illustrators , who are putting on a group exhibition at the Anise Gallery , Shad Thames , London from April 21st through to May 20th this year .
The gallery duly circulated all members with an invitation to submit entries and much to my surprise they duly selected one of mine , the watercolour shown above , entitled ' Florence - the Bank of the Arno '. So if any one is in London around this time try and get along , as I am sure that there will be a really good selection of artworks on show, most probably a lot better than mine !
......the gallery's website is at http://www.anisegallery.co.uk/ for those who are interested..........
......and introducing the latest member of the family to express their artistic skills - granddaughter Erin , age 3 going on 18 , sketching a portrait of her new sister Heidi , age about 5 weeks.......box of markers at the ready.........
