A new studio beckons. Over the next few weeks I am going to be packing up my paints, canvas' and assorted weird JuJu items and leaving the cliff top barn at Trimingham.
Two years and a couple of weeks ago, when I moved into the empty flint former threshing barn, I was taking a first step toward full-time self sufficient painting.
I have done some good work of wonderful subjects within it, and I have enjoyed the indulgent company of my landlords and their family.
I take with me memories of rattling roof tiles in winter gales, painting from reference material in two coats and a hat with frost on my palette, summer mornings with light streaming in through the door, the company of friends and models, and models becoming friends. In all, an enchanted place, although not always entirely comfortable.
The studio I move to is part of a current gallery. I am again grateful to my friends Jenny Rumens and Sally Wallace for their generosity of thought, and I hope great foresight, in asking me to join them at the C21 shop in Mundesley.
The next step begins.

OOOh, lovely, a place with a toilet!
Good luck with your move and next adventure.... I really will be up to see your paintings as soon as I can.....
All the very bestfor the move, just in time for the weather change - you won't know what's hit you - painting without thermals on! Luxury!
Life is full of beginnings and endings. Good luck in the new abode, hope it proves as inspiring as your previous studio.
Lovely picture by the way. Full of atmosphere.
