Birthdays with a zero in the number...

​
I'm approaching May 2025 with a little trepidation. It's the month in which I reach one of those birthdays with a zero on the end. Another decade has disappeared into my rear view mirror. Where does the time go?
I was similarly unsettled ten years ago as I hit 50. But the last ten years have been among the best. I went to University (for the first time and still the first in my family to go!) and got myself a first class BA (Hons) degree. I also married Andy, my super partner of many years.
Hopefully the next ten years will be just as good. I'll let you know as we go,

Website

I am continuing to develop my new website. I'm not a website developer or techno geek of any description. I'm hoping to build a more streamlined experience between my website and my online shop with British Craft House.
I have now linked product categories in the shop now part of the website to the corresponding categories in my online shop to make navigation a little easier.
The website can be viewed here​

New Art

My latest original paintings:

A small study of Plymouth Hoe and Smeaton's Tower lighthouse, in acrylic and watercolour on Yupo paper, a synthetic paper with an interesting sheen which enhances the vibrancy of the paint.
​

Another Yupo painting, this time a postcard sized view of Kingsand on Cornwall's beautiful Rame Peninsula, in acrylic and watercolour.
​

Taken from the same vantage point at The Cleave in Kingsand, but looking in the opposite direction towards Cawsand, the last new addition is a watercolour on paper painting,

All current work for sale can be seen in my British Craft House online shop​

Folksy Shop

In an attempt to expand my online presence, I am in the process of restocking my Folksy shop. Managing multiple online market places can be a bit time consuming but when I'm able to do it, I see the benefits in more sales. The most comprehensive selection of work is in my British Craft House store, but feel free to check out Folksy here
​

That's all for this month.
I'll be back in June/ July. I'm getting out and about around Devon and Cornwall with my sketchbook and camera, seeking out new things to paint. I'm always open to ideas on subject matter.
Drop me a line with any suggestions here​
Kind regards
Chris
