2020
Well this is a strange year for all of us. Opportunities for exhibiting have almost dried up and the Dorset Visual Arts group which keeps me in touch with other artist has not been able to meet. However I have used the lockdown time to experiment with iPad painting and painting in oil and acrylic. One very enjoyable exercise was a challenge to a friend to paint two pieces in the style of artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - I chose Bonnard and O’Keefe.
