A Day at the Races

There is nothing like the excitement of a race meeting.The fun of betting,the sound of the horses thundering past and the characters who attend these events make great scenes for paintings. My grandmother owned a bookmakers premises next door to her corner shop in Northampton. She would totter round in her slippers and place bets for me--I was too young- she was quite an expert on form--I often had extra pocket money.

Some big racing events are coming up, The Grand National at Aintree

Sea and Sun

The sun is out, the weather feels warm, the days are getting longer and it would be nice on the east coast this weekend.I love the sea and the cool misty air of  the English coast early in the morning.The seafood is good too.

Paris and Springtime

Looking through holiday advertisements in the Sunday papers reminded me of photographs I had taken the last time I was in Paris France, one of my favourite cities  so I have turned them into a painting.
The Cafe Alma does exist , they specialize in sea food, a little expensive but delicious and full of Parisian charm and atmosphere with good views of the Eiffel tower.

Dog Talk

Some pubs in the U.K. still allow dogs into the bar where owners can be seen fixing deals.
Not the best way to buy a dog.
