Kingfisher diving bubbles

Over the lazy days of summer, I have been doodling alongside painting; trying my hand at creating new and diverse ways of showing how the kingfisher shows itself.  My latest paintings are just that…. diving, catching, splashing, then emerging from the rivers edge.  Hoping to capture how agile the kingfisher really is!!  This latest kingfisher is mounted and awaiting to be taken to the framers!

I was thrilled to have exhibited with the Guild of Waterway Artists   at the Black Country Museum on the 28th & 29th September; where some of my drawings were shown as part of this exhibition.  The events that weekend also included the Historic Working Boats, what a sight to be seen!  It was spectacular! all in all!  A great weekend was had!539158_710941512252548_1362631127_n

I began with a-painting-a-day for the Braunston Historic Boat Show June 2013; a show stopping event where people and boats come together from all walks of life.  What a lovely event to be part of, with Prunella Scales and Timothy West opening the show this year.  The Hum of Life; brought to life with Morris dancers, music, people and boats, together with the hustle and bustle of this remarkable venue.

The Guild of Waterway Artists this year put on a unique and diverse display of artworks – as part of this event; I endeavored to create a series of drawings which highlight the diversity of wildlife which can be found on and around our waterways.
