It’s hard to get a word in, but he’s a lovely man! #alantichmarsh #loveyourweekend

Nice to see my painting ‘Old milltown’ is the front cover for Februarys Lancashire life magazine! #lancashire #artist

Where did all the lights go? I miss those old sodium lamps that gave us a warm glow in winter months. This is just one of 250 paintings that I made in a series called Northern lights.

Another large canvas just finished! ‘Isthmus’ oils. 120X120cm. An unusual strip of land between the river and the canal that was previously built to control water flows to an old mill, waterwheel? Now nature has reclaimed it. #art #painting

Just spending the afternoon working on a new painting ‘Oak hill’ oil on canvas. It’s from one of my favourite local walks in the woods. The winters sunsets here are super.

It was like this for decades. Now it’s been abandoned and looks like it’s going to be erased forever, that’s why I have to paint it!

Living on the edge!
I’m about 10 miles out from #manchester city centre, up on the hill is where you’ll find me. I’m currently working on a few projects, one for my exhibition at Salford art gallery in December called ‘Edge of the city’ #art

Here’s a photo of just two of the four rooms in my studio and gallery. It’s in an old cotton mill in a suburb of Manchester and well worth the visit!

My favourite thing about Slow prophets was the garden shed. I’ve painted hundreds of sheds over the last 25 years.
Acrylic on canvas.

A cotton industry.
Oil on canvas. I’ve got a thing for allotments in the north. A fascination that started in 2004 with the humble garden shed. #allotments #art

Outskirts. Oil on board. The low rises and strangeways in this suburban landscape on a winters morning. #art #manchester
