In September I exhibited two oil paintings with the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) at the Mall Galleries in London - and in October a further three paintings with the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA). This is the 45th consecutive year I have exhibited with the SWLA.

In my time with the SWLA I have served on the Council, then nine years as Secretary followed by President for five. I also served six years on the Board of Governors at the Federation British Artists (FBA) - the body that oversees the running of the Mall Galleries.

From the 2nd to the 6th July my oil painting, Wanderer (100 x 150 cm) was on show as a finalist at the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Exhibition at the Mall Galleries (London). I was delighted to be included in this exhibition/competition showcasing wildlife art from across the world and, most importantly, raising funds for wildlife conservation.
