For a couple of days I have been working on my upcoming seminar for the Spring Fair in Birmingham in just four weeks time. My subject is Art Business and Licensing.
Here is a still from my Power Point slide show.
3 Jan 2011 VAT rise tonight!
The dreaded VAT rise tonight will push up prices of paintings and prints....IF you buy them from a VAT registered gallery or website. Hey ho! Sigh. Just say to yourself that all the money goes to small children in hospital, and is not wasted by the government. That way it hurts a little bit less.

1 Jan 2011 New Year, new painting, new print!
I've been finishing off the new painting, and then adjusting and developing using Photoshop to make a good print for my customer.
What do you think of it?
31 Dec 2010 New Years Eve. More work on the Venice commission.
Today is another dull and overcast day. I've been Facebooking and watched a video on internet marketing. The small rowan tree outside my office window has been visited on an off all day by about 20 waxwings who are busy stripping it of all the berries. What a stunning bird!
Meanwhile I have been popping in and out of my studio to do more to the Venice commission.
So far so good.

Today is our 50th wedding anniversary. So here are some photos from that day.
We were art students. We had no money, so we borrowed the clothes. Everybody said that it might last a year or two.
