Watercolour Diaries from the Green River  

June 2023

 

Steamboat Rock from 400' up a Cliff, 2018

Watercolour and graphite on paper, Green River Formation fossilized fish, map
48" x 53"


I started work on this exhibition in 2018. I was then interrupted by the pandemic, so it was only completed this spring. I hiked, rafted and canoed to make the 16 paintings at selected sites along the river’s 780-mile journey from its headwaters in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming to its confluence with the Colorado River in Utah. The exhibition has now opened at The Whitney Western Art Museum, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Cody, Wyoming.

I will be giving an illustrated talk at the Museum on Saturday 15th July at 10 am and there will be an informal reception afterwards. I hope to see you there!

After the showing in Cody The Foster Museum has arranged for the exhibition to tour to four other US museums. See the schedule below to check dates and details.

New Major Project

June 2023

I have been working on my next major project “About Time -Watercolour Diaries from Moments to Millenia” and have completed 20 paintings.

The exhibition is scheduled to open at the end of 2024.  It is hoped it will tour in the UK before opening in the USA in 2026.
