Work in progress on two “identical” paintings for two lovely sisters in Chicago. It’s certainly a challenge, but nevertheless great  fun.

The print of “Somewhere beyond the Sea” has been delivered to its new owners in Chicago, sisters Jacqueline Taylor Ondras and Maria Ellis after a year of trying to identify me as the artist. They saw the print online, but couldn’t remember my name until now.

The print has huge sentimental importance as Maria’s late fiance adored the song of the same name . It’s lovely to be able to help out and we’re hoping to meet up in Chicago on my next visit.

This short series of for paintings for The Chicago Ballet now has A3 and A4 prints and A5 greetings cards now available here. Please visit the SHOP for further details.

One week in on the portrait for Alex Polizzi, The Hotel Inspector. There’s a huge amount left to do on this fascinating lady. Watch this space!

I was honoured to be able to paint Nadiya and her husband Abdal last year. She is a remarkable lady and I wish her well in her new series on the BBC.
