The Summer Exhibition: Plastic Sea + The Art Class

2 more years teaching, to show in x2 barns by the sea, Scotland: bombastic creativity + inspiration!

See the incredible progress of the Art Team who all said ‘I can’t draw’ now a 394 page book for sale: Art for Beginners WAYS OF LOOKING. See my plastic finds Installation I’ve been collecting everyday for 3 years, some funny creations and a few double page spreads from the big PLASTIC SEA BOOK in process…

It was a fantastic buzz of a private view. I loved the 4 boats who sailed up the loch…

It was a lot of work to hang…and then take down. The barns are finally empty.

I’m so very proud of the Art Team, of all their vigorous drawing, bolder bigger looser painting and more considered looking! You have to know, most of these paintings are done in 50 minutes with 30 minutes for the sketch drawings, to my specific hard driven brief or series of tasks. It’s a process rather than a result… you can never judge out of context. Unless you follow my maverick course so full of sensations and experiences, you’ll never know the amount of work in ludicrous locations with tricky subject matter the team take on. Well done all of you! I’ve loved seeing your own handwriting grow. Thank you! xx
