Finally I’d really like to stell you about an an exciting collaborative project called Shared Horizons 

 

I am working on with with Bill Brody, an Alaskan artist I met in Anchorage last year. We are going to work together by Loch Slapin on Skye this September and show the work in the UK and Alaska. For me, the most exciting part is to be sharing the preparation with another artist, and to start a visual dialogue over such a great distance that can develop as the work develops. 

 

Please email me and check into the blog if you’d like more information or to leave feedback about any of these projects.

 

Shared Horizons is a new project that I’m developing with a really interesting artist called Bill Brody. We met when I was in Alaska working on the Cook Inlet panorama. He has a completely committed way of working on the landscape. I originally saw his landscape painting in Anchorage Museum, we later met at Stephan Fine Arts where I also saw his printmaking. 

 We are going to work together on the Isle of Skye this autumn, painting and printmaking and hope to show in Alaska and the UK. 

The plan is to start exchanging work now, in preparation for the intensive time on Skye in four months time. We are exchanging ideas and work in progress, and for me that has to start with my sketchbooks :  

 

 

These are from my trip to Omaha beach in Normandy, I’ve also just finished two panoramic paintings. One of Pointe d’Hoc in Normandy
