Beautiful John.
I saw some Monet 'waterlily' paintings recently - and felt inspired to move an Irish holiday cottage I 'painted' a while back to a place with waterlilies..

A client asked for three A3 artworks featuring Culdaff beach and their nearby home in Co. Donegal.
Today I was sent this picture of the art which the client has had beautifully framed and hung on their wall..
It's great to have happy, appreciative customers!

A funny piece of graphic design art I created (inspired by the humour of Gary Larson)
Flatcoat retrievers are known for being derpy, fun silly dogs - and I thought this poster may appeal to their owners..

Recently in Viana Do Castelo, Northern Portugal, we came across a cormorant on the beach. It didn’t mind me taking a photo - I think it was just drying off in the sun.

John and Finns Book number 4 would make a lovely stocking filler this Christmas.
Just published today. I'm so very proud of you you and Finn.

6yr old Finn asked a very grown up question 'How does memory work?'
This may be a story about a boy who thinks he has penguins in his head
or perhaps an instruction manual for how to get genius level recall of things we learn.

I saw this painting in a museum in Viana Do Castelo, Portugal.
It is believed that the French artist Nicolas Lancret added extra elements to an existing Dutch interior painting in the 17th century to make it more fun..
And we though Photoshopping was a modern day thing!
