Newsletter February/ March 2026

Hello

A belated Happy New Year. I've been busy working on a commission plus a couple of other new pieces. I will be getting more involved with the Drawn to the Valley Art Group this year, hopefully doing my bit to showcase art from Devon and Cornwall artists. I am also expanding my Folksy shop. As a result I'm offering subscribers a 15% discount when they visit. More details below.

Abbeyfield

I was very pleased to be one of several local artists who donated paintings to Abbeyfield's Drake Lodge Resedential Home in Tavistock. In return, I was featured in this article in the local newspaper, the Tavistock Times and Gazette. I hope my acrylic painting of Tinside Lido, Plymouth will help brighten the decor.

Chris Stone Artist

I am a Plymouth based artist. I love to create original paintings of the places and landscapes i love, mostly in Devon and Cornwall, but also beyond. I'm particularly interested in the faded beauty of everyday things that surround us and that many of us take for granted.

Chris Stone Artist Newsletter September 2026 Phew! That was a hot one! Summer was never my favourite season, even less so after the ruthless one we've just had! Paint was literally drying on the brush and markets in hot spaces were a bit of an ordeal. Having said that, I had a great time selling to and meeting customers at markets, fairs and exhibitions and I've had fun producing a few paintings.
