These are my sketches done while rafting down the Grand Canyon and exploring Yellowstone and Zion Canyon in September 2018. I am now making an illustrated map of the rafting trip.

About time I updated this news page! 2018 was such a busy year with lots of travelling and teaching I barely seemed to be at home. I'm now planning my painting holidays and cruise classes for 2019 - here is a list of the painting holidays:

26 April–3 May Brecon Rambles with a sketchbook
13 – 17 May Selworthy Landscape painting
1 – 8 June Selworthy Sketching & painting in gardens
21-28 June Alnmouth Sketching & painting in gardens
20-24 August St Ives Rambles with a sketchbook

If you're interested in any of them contact HF Holidays https://www.hfholidays.co.uk

I will also be teaching watercolour classes on a Greek Islands Cruise in September/October - https://www.fredolsencruises.com/cruise/greek-islands-and-corinth-canal-m1925

My first teaching job in 2018 was a Northern lights cruise, February-March, travelling to Tromso and Alta in Norway. It was the most memorable trip, with wonderful (though chilly!) weather, and the most spectacular display of the Northern Lights in Alta. I managed to photograph them and also did some watercolours - though nothing can match up to the experience. You can see photos and comments on my facebook page.

New website!

4/12/2018

Welcome to my new website! I have been rather slow in getting around to it as I knew it would take a lot of time and I'm often away. But after a busy period which lasted from January until March I now have some time to get on with it. I hope you like it - I will be adding news and any new cruises and painting holidays that come up. For the last few years I've been putting news on my facebook page, but it will be wonderful to be able to update the website regularly. Hope you like it!
