In the Wings

Cropped detail from ‘In the Wings’

Curious how once a painting has been created, it quietly acquires a life of its own finding its way from easel to a new wall. I have to remind myself that this process can take some time as is the case with my body of paintings of Douglas!

Here are some of the paintings below in the window of the former Scrib Tree – that was such a good place – I miss it!

The little chap below is full size now!

It feels several lifetimes ago now but I’m glad I made time for a very quick sketch …

‘Scrib Tree – hasty sketch at the end of the day Wed 16 Sept 2020’

Thanks to a tip from a kind friend, I’m delighted to say that this collection has moved from waiting in the wings to the Douglas Heritage Museum where every sale will contribute a little towards its upkeep – as well as mine!

I’ve also made a series of signed greetings cards and some prints that will fit standard sized frames and make great easy-to-post gifts.

Cards of Douglas now in stock in the Douglas Heritage Museum

The museum is staffed by volunteers and is open on Saturdays and Sundays 2-5pm April through to the end of September. You can see all the available work here on my Artwork Archive page. If you see something you’re interested in – just drop me an email.

Here’s one of the originals (In the Wings) demonstrated in an ArtRooms App setting.

Douglas is a village dense with history – plenty more about this here .

Thanks as always for reading
