14 August 2011 Two new paintings

Here are a couple of paintings just finished today. Probably still wet as I write this. First is a commission for a gallery in Norfolk to replace a similar painting that someone was interested in. Titled...'Big Ben Aug11'.
Second is 'Departure Dawn' showing Tower Bridge open with sailing boat exiting downstream. I am submitting this one for the Battle Art Fair next month.

14 August 2011


I received a letter yesterday addressed to Colin Ruffell F.R.S.A. !!! I am now a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. Wow. I really don't know what to make of this yet. The Groucho Marx quote..."I don't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member" springs to mind.

1 August 2011 New stuff!

My latest painting [and print] is titled 'City of London'. 


Did you guess what it is all about yet? 
Correct, well done!!
Here it is...




Plus I have created a page devoted to my London paintings and prints. There are over 100 now.

2 July 2011 Happy winners collect prizes.

Here are a couple more winners! They both won one of our daily prizes, of their choice, during our Artists Open House exhibition a few weekends ago.



Louise chose the Venice limited edition shown above and collected it today.
Elaine chose a Brighton Pier print and collected last week.

Street party for 'The Big Lunch'.






It rained for the first time in weeks!  The neighbours had been planning a street party as part of the nationwide Big Lunch. And we had official permission to close off the top of Springfield Road down to outside the pub. We had hoped to have lots of fun and games up and down the road. But the skies opened and we had to shelter under makeshift gazebos and sunshades. However we had a great time, met lots of new people, and made new friends. 

22 May 2011 Third weekend ... three more days left.

Today is the sixth day of our Artists Open House event. Once again the weather is kind... no rain. Yesterday we had about 200 visitors and over 100 filled in one of our 'Do You Feel Lucky' cards to try to win our daily prize draw for a print of your choice. Here are two of this years winners with their chosen prints.
