There is a reality TV programme about random families or couples watching the TV, and we watch their reactions and comments on the programmes they are watching. I quite like the concept of watching people watching, it’s a sort of voyeuristic voyeurism. I suppose if you were studying psychology or sociology, you might find it…
I was delighted to receive another commission from my customer who commissioned the hob back splash Sunset over the Solway . The brief was to make a smaller picture that would have echos or elements of the larger mosaic whilst also adding something of the magic from a piece she had just bought from my…
I have been thinking about transferring mosaic designs onto fabric for years, longer than the big fashion companies such as Dolce & Gabbana! The trouble is they beat me to it! But seriously I know I will never get as big or famous as they are, (who would want to be that rich and famous??)…
I have been busy over the summer months creating a mosaic for a customer to display behind her kitchen hob. I was delighted to be offered this commission as the subject of it was as close to my heart as it was hers. She sent me some photos of the sun setting over the Solway,…
I take so many photos of the landscape around me, usually they serve as reference points for work that takes me somewhere beyond that which is seen. This time I decided to make a couple of pieces that are purely representational. At least more or less ! The first inspired by this dramatic sunset last…
I have been working on some new pieces of art that incorporate my drawings and photos, set in box frames and featuring mosaics of birds, bees and fish as well as eyes and suns. I like the association of the box frame with memories and treasured items. Most of the pieces I have made are…

That mottled sky that inspired “Where The Flying Things Go” (see last post) led to another mosaic, more relevant to the mottled or “mackerel” sky as it is known. It is known as mackerel as the cloud formations resemble the markings on a mackerel fish. Here is another look at that sky: This time I wanted…
