Jura No More

At last the landscape has gone, never to be ventured upon again! 

Am quite pleased with alternative effort, a seascape with my favourite subject; a moon, too large and slightly otherworldly.  We'll see what the reaction is.  Already a new version is in my head, reverse the image and paint in an other island and moon and get a stunning reflection pic, perhaps next year!  I thought there was too much sky and sea hence painted on boarder, off-setting the picture changes the viewing dynamic, whatever that means! 



This is called 'Jura No More' because it's Jura, no more, obvious really

Talented rug maker and fabric designer - Lucy Griffiths

We are delighted to be hosting the craft work of fabric designer Lucy Griffiths this year. With the imminent arrival of her first baby, opening her studio has taken a back seat to the rather more pressing needs of organising the nursery.  From her charming horse and rider pieces to her naively embroidered hearts and cushions, all of Lucy's work is immaculately and painstakingly detailed and finished.
