As part of Sydenham Artists Trail I open my house and studio for people to drop by and see my work. This year the Trail features about 100 artists across 34 venues. I also have works hanging in the Anna Lovely Gallery Open Exhibition and Ghurkas Restaurant on Sydenham High Street.

It’s a good opportunity to go through the year’s work, see what we have, where we’ve got to, update the website and generally do some housekeeping.

The pace is hampered due to my having shoulder surgery less than two ago. I did wonder whether to drop out but most the work is already done and it’s just a question of opening the door and talking to people. . .

Into the studio!

Hang on, having a dislocated shoulder for 7 months makes drawing, painting and tidying up challenging. This is the result. . .

Firstly books! Too many books ! A lack of space means cuts. . .

Tidy up!

Don’t have a cow, man. . .

Hanging in Gurkhas Restaurant.

Some work still had Type 1 diabetes related content.

For example a hypoglycaemic episode. . .

What it looks like (Glucagon because you’re worth it).

What it feels like (Untitled).

So you hang the work and take a look, what would you buy?

Sold. Thank you!
