As promised, a picture of a new tattoo.  Done by Dave Watt at Blue Lotus in Worcester.  Sooo glad to have it done, as i had a tattoo on my wrist from teenage years that really needed to be covered up!! 

Painting wise, i am super busy with commissions.  Front of the queue at the moment is a painting of the David Pipe trained, Junior, who won so impressively at Royal Ascot this year.  Will post some studio shots soon.

Commission painting of Reve De Sivola is done.  Yay!

 Busy times with visiting relatives and aversion to work due to the sun shining, but my latest work is coming along good.  It's a commission piece of Reve De Sivola (Future Cheltenham Gold Cup winner?), and here it is, very close to completion....

Currently madly busy with commissions and the cows, but should have some new work for you to have a peak at very soon!  Also designing new tattoos to cover old tattoos.  Pictures to follow!
Keeping it brief!  Sorry!

Monet's Garden painting is now available to buy in the shop.  A snip at £180.  Original painting with no prints made. 

Monet's Garden canvas is completed and up in the gallery.  I've also painted one of Tidal Bay - also in the online gallery.  This looks rather nice in 'real life', but hasn't translated through the camera very impressively.  New painting on it's way of my old favourite, Ballycassidy.

I'm looking forward to the Grand National meeting this week.  I've always thought Irish Raptor to be a National horse, but we shall see!  Madison Du Berlais is lugging top weight... don't forget the original painting of him 'Take Off' is for sale!

Hope everyone had an easter as good as mine!  Have a good Aintree everyone.

Things are settling down after a hectic time moving house, the arrival of new puppy, Sukie, and milking cows far too much!  Well... i have to pay the bills somehow!  It's the nervous and exciting, butterflies in belly build up to the Cheltenham Festival this week and it's the first year since 2005 I won't be there :( .  Painting wise, I've almost completed a canvas of Monet's Garden.  It was so lovely and very emotional seeing him win the Ascot Chase again.  It always feels good painting a horse after a good victory, it sparks lots of passion into my work. 

Photos to come soon!  Enjoy the Festival everyone!  I can't wait to hear that roar as the tape goes up for the Supreme Novices.  Spine tingling.
