Just been visiting Marrakesh, beautiful place to g Just been visiting Marrakesh, beautiful place to go for winter sun and escape the London rain. Yesterday I was at Jardiln Marjorelle, and a few days before the waterfalls at Setti Fatma. Great to take the watercolours and just spend hours painting plain air.

I went to visit the atmospheric Pullens yard in El I went to visit the atmospheric Pullens yard in Elephant and Castle where I had a studio briefly many years ago. Such a wonderful place to work, the artist Frank Bowling had his studio opposite. Yesterday I went back to visit their open Studios and Frank’s studio was there as ever full of his magnificent paintings. Such a rare and beautiful experience. @frankbowlingstudio @pullensyards

Sometimes there is nothing better than taking my s Sometimes there is nothing better than taking my sketch pad out and drawing in nature. These trees are old friends. I remember them from 20 years ago. I walked through woodland where I used to live in Old Coulsdon. Much of this part of the woodland had been savagely cleared but I was so relieved to find the pair of entwined beech trees still standing. A newly formed sapling in the foreground.
New Diptych. Most of the work is actually done mix New Diptych. Most of the work is actually done mixing colour on the rather chaotic glass tabletop. A combination of pigments, oil paint and various mediums.

Rock and Island 1and 2 Diptych now hanging with Li Rock and Island 1and 2 Diptych now hanging with Linley @linleylondon in Their Belgravia show room. Think they make much more sense as a pair which is how I meant them to be seen. Many thanks to @bloomfieldsart for their curation and support.
Rock and Island 1 Diptych 150 x100cms Acrylic o Rock and Island 1 Diptych 150 x100cms Acrylic on silk Rock and Island       Looking down, from mountain cliff headland, Into the indigo dyed sea.   The sky beyond, shades of cobalt hue, Waves of deja vu dissolve over stone. Or was it from the other shore? That peninsular into blue.   Where the translucent glaze of evening’s past, Lift to reveal an azure glow. Copyright Bob Aldous
Rock and Island 2. 150 x 100 cms Acrylic and ink Rock and Island 2. 150 x 100 cms Acrylic and ink on silk To be exhibited with @bloomfieldsart at @linleylondon . Using indigo, cyan and ultramarine blues. Space and memory. Using ideas of different spaces with water as the metaphor and membrane. Looking through, looking at and looking beyond. The rock in the foreground a mirror image of the island beyond. Rock occupying the poetic present and Island memory and loss.
Looking through some old watercolours inspired by Looking through some old watercolours inspired by Turner and decided to rework them in. Paper is really important but cannot remember what paper this was but it holds those atmospheric washes beautifully.
The song of Birds Exhibiting with @haydengallery The song of Birds Exhibiting with @haydengallery Painted on Silk 150 x 100cms Poetic piece inspired by bird song Just received this from the Poet Myra Schneider Copyright the poet Myra Schneider THE BIRDS 29.5.25 You watch a pack of seagulls high in the sky swoop down to a pool of azure blue sea beneath a crumbling cliff but when they rise again and wheel in a screeching mob you escape inland, find green peacefulness in a wood. A blackbird slips into a leafy bush and you stop to listen to its liquid song until it’s drowned by parakeets squawking in the tree tops overhead. At once some belligerent rooks start cawing and flapping their wings. When the din dies down and silence returns you unclench and move on. It’s only later, at home, when a jaunty magpie hops onto a plum tree in your garden, that it strikes you how stupid humans are. Although we can walk on land we’ve learnt how to make cars to drive across it at speed, we’re constructing larger and larger liners to carry us across seas, building planes so fast they can fly us in a few hours to faraway countries, but we refuse to see we’re stifling plants in the ground with rubbish, polluting rivers and oceans, fouling the air. Unless we stop only birds will survive on our planet. Myra Schneider After The Voices of Birds Robert Aldous

“The headland” 150 x 100 cms on silk. Part of “The headland” 150 x 100 cms on silk. Part of the spring art fair curated by @bloomfieldsart at Linleys In Pimlico @linleylondon . Using heightening of colour using a marigold dyed silk canvas. This technique, perfected over the past 10 years gives the work a glowing appearance achieved by the radiant ground and by hand mixing pigment and natural dyes. There is an influence of early renaissance painting with the emphasis on deep illusion of space. The idea of space is achieved by viewpoints of looking down and looking up. The view point is deliberately elevated giving us the impression of rising above from ground level. The exhibition starts today with pv tonight running for 6 weeks. For opening times contact @linleylondon .
Exhibition shots for work exhibited with @bloomfie Exhibition shots for work exhibited with @bloomfieldsart @linleylondon . Looking forward to the PV tomorrow evening. Direct message me for an invite .

This is the painting “Kittiwake “ . Acrylic an This is the painting “Kittiwake “ . Acrylic and watercolour on dyed silk. If you look down at the base of the canvas a single bird flies in the shadow of a headland. Overhead above us the kittiwake hovers against the clouds. This painting incorporates viewpoints of looking down into an imaginary sea and looking up into a luminous sky. There is a new direction to my work using more colour contrasts and multiple viewpoints.
