Hello ,

 

if you've been on social media lately, you may have seen some of the posts my assistant Robin has been publishing for me. They are mostly leading up to the release of my new book: "Beyond the Reach of the City" this Saturday (29th August). We now have the first consignment of them waiting to go out.

 

As there's still a lot of work to do this week in the studio, we won't be releasing the book until the weekend. Saturday also kicks off the Cornwall Open Studio event, and this year I'm taking part in it for the first time in seven or eight years. 

 

So, here are relevant links for my two main bits of news:

I've been working on this project for the past six months, but the content goes back several years. The overall response from people who've seen the proof copies has been totally affirming for me - that it really touches the spot - so to speak. If you know anything of me or my work, you'll know what I mean! 

 

Click the cover image below and hear my assistant Robin interviewing me (behind the studio) about how the book came together. The page is actually my Instagram bio page - but it serves the purpose here. The video is at the bottom.

 

 

Look out for my email toward the end of the week with a link to purchase the book. All books purchased during the ten day launch will be signed by me personally. ;) 

 

Meanwhile . . .

Yes I'll be opening my doors again this year for the duration of the Open Studio event (29th August through 6th September inclusive) - for anyone who wishes to visit (without an appointment). The links below tell you more about what I'm planning, as well as details of the event itself.

Should you feel you'd prefer to make an appointment to ensure more personal attention, then we can certainly arrange something together outside the normal opening hours. So if you are able to attend one way or another - I look forward to welcoming you. :)

 

 

And one last-minute bonus, especially if you're unable to come to my studio:

The link below will take you to an online exhibition of small oils I posted back in April. There are still a number pieces left for sale. The link below is a members' only private page - not available generally. There's also a generous loyalty discount code waiting for you. It's valid only to the end of August - and it covers all work currently shown on the website:-

(Read them and why not write me one yourself? :) ) 

Best for now, and thanks again for any reviews you provide,

 

Steve
