In early December I staged an exhibition of a dozen paintings which I had completed since my Italian journey earlier this year, together with a handful of earlier works. The show was exhibited at West Bridgford Baptist Church, Nottingham.
As well as the oils and pen and wash paintings, I included a number of photographs, a display of the books I had read and the sketchbooks which I had used while travelling. This was an attempt to feed back to the church some of the work and benefits of my sabbatical study leave – someone even read my sabbatical report!
Here is a gallery of the paintings and few pics of the exhibition.Click on an image and use the arrow keys or a further click to take you around the show.

What wonderful paintings Chris – they’re hugely atmospheric and beautifully crafted! I also appreciate the Ken Howard connection, whose art I’ve got to know over the last few years through the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition. I hope that Christmas is peaceful, joyful and has some art of one kind or another in it.
So pleased to find that, although the display has been taken down at church, I can still see your wonderful art work on Facebook!
