Artful Dodgers

I am a painter and printmaker, but more importantly in this context, I am proud to say that I was the teacher of the"Watercolour on Alternate Saturdays" class that was the birthplace of the Artful Dodgers. I started the class in 1992, and continued, with many of the same students, for 13 years, till I moved to Bahrain in 2005. It's been a real privilege and a pleasure to work with this wonderful group of creative people, and I am honored to be included in this exhibition.

This work (together with another - see Sold! gallery) are part of a larger series of paintings based on walks in Richmond Park, where my dog Wilf  and I walked every day for 8 years, every season, rain or shine. Though I live in Brighton now, Richmond Park still resonates in my heart and memory.
