Some of the artists and cultural references I’ll be using in my new painting FORGED IN LIFE #familyportraits #oilpaintings #cambridgeopenstudios2026 #visitely #climatechange

We were showing our grandson how to play the card game ‘Happy Families’. This was an excuse to show him my 1984 painting also called HAPPY FAMILIES #familyportraits #oilpainting #visitely #cambridgeopenstudios2026

I’ve just started my latest painting FORGED IN LIFE with some under painting and collage work #familyportraits #oilpaintings #visitely #cambridgeopenstudios2026 #elyartsfestival

I think I’ve finished all my experiments before starting my current painting FORGED IN Life so I just need to start on the final piece. At least I know what I don’t want to do! #familyportraits #popupgallery #visitely #cambridgeopenstudios2026
