Recently I've become a little cup obsessed, which is kinda nice as it lets me set up still lifes and play around with colour and pattern easier than you can do with portraits.
These are two of these new works, which will be on show with another two cup paintings and a selection of my figurative work at the Battersea Affordable Art Fair this weekend. Tracey Mcnee will be representing me, along with several other terrific painters and I'm sure it'll be a great show - I'm pretty sad that I'm just too busy at the moment to go down and see it myself, but if you are in the area, let me know what you think of my mini change of direction.
A week tomorrow I'm off to London to see this painting at the opening of the Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize . I'm terrifically excited as this is my first London exhibition and looking at the other choices there are many amazing paintings hanging along with mine. Once I'm down there I will report back with how everything looks - or if you are in London, come along - it will be open all of next week at the Mall Galleries.
But even fancy-pants arty farty painters need to learn and do their daily drawings - so today I gave Mrs Cat her own teacake. She didn't seem overly impressed.
