Celebrating 40 years by commissioning a painting!
I was asked to paint an abstract picture - my choice of style, colour and size. The person wish to use money given to them for their 40th birthday. I told them that I was not sure when the painting would be completed as with abstracts currently my plan is to not have a plan! Some months later as I was painting “Joyful Explosion” I knew that this was the painting for them and I am pleased to say they were delighted with their painting and it hangs on their sitting room wall. Co-incidentally the colours match the colour scheme! When painting the picture I had no idea, I just chose the colours that came to me at the time.

The Kettle's Yard gallery was conceived as a “living place where works of art could be enjoyed” by Jim & Helen Ede. Entry to the house is gained by pulling on a door bell, continuing a tradition of 'open house' started by Ede. This link is to an interesting article about Jim Ede and the birth of Kettle’s Yard.
