Notes · From the studio
Notes
Short pieces on painting, exhibition news, press and studio events. Written in the loft, usually with cold hands.
Exhibition
Harbour Light opens at Gull Street
Six new paintings and a wall of morning studies are now hanging in St Ives until 15 November.
Studio
Stretching linen for the big ones
The largest canvases I have made came off the stretching table this week. A note on linen, sizing and patience.
Press
In Coast & Country this spring
A six-page feature on the Tideline paintings and the beach studies behind them.
Event
Open studio, 6–7 December
The net loft opens its doors for one weekend before Christmas: new work, prints and mince pies.
Studio
On painting in winter
Short days, low sun and the best light of the year. Why I do my most important work between November and March.
