The centre of our town was closed off to traffic and instead was full of temporary bars, stalls and a large stage for performances.

Here are two audio recordings that you can download and listen to as podcasts - artists critique my paintings. I recommend you listen to them whilst looking at a picture of the painting being discussed. This is from an exhibition I participated in, along side 22 other international artists from my art group, ANA (Artists’ [...]
It was so exciting to walk into the exhibition and everything to be a surprise because I had not been part of the set up. I know all the artists and seeing their creative outpourings was over powering. I gave a speech as Chair of ANA and suggested people come back when it is less [...]

Familiarise yourself with the colour wheel The best way of getting to know the colour wheel, off by heart, is to paint your own. Do this exercise of mixing vivid colours and painting them each in place. You can add more white as you go towards the centre and add more black to each colour [...]

About They were painted directly after watching a firework display on a beach, from way up high on top of a mountain. The coast line was [...]
This is a video summary of the amazing event that was the Sugar Factory art exhibition in Motril. The original live music was by the band Xian Ra! This was their debut performance.
