This week I have been in Prague doing a painting event with my children! The whole trip was funded on the proviso that we bring our unicycles and unicycle along the streets of the city to the event (I’m not someone who posts much personal info on here so many may well not know that unicycling is a family passion)! I had just TWO hours to complete the 250cm x 125cm painting of the view from the rooftop balcony only using the four colours pictured. I started at 4pm and I knew the sun was going to set at 6! It was SO MUCH FUN!! The painting will be auctioned for a local children’s charity in the coming months. A big thank you goes to my brother William Bucknell for organising and also to my daughter May (13) who did nearly all of the filming!

Just finished. We all need some warmth in our lives, right? Well that was the intended feeling in this one. Oil on canvas 20” x 28” much love 😀

The Lower Leas, Folkestone. Oil on canvas 30” x 22”. Completed today. I’ve found the early evening light there to be dramatic and beautiful

Latest. This is one of the lesser-known paths that meanders from the Folkestone Leas down to the Lower Leas. I wanted to make the light itself the actual subject, hopefully evoking the feeling of what it is like when you walk from shaded light into the sun's glare and how you feel when everything is suddenly so bright and blinding. If you look closely you can see an iconic Leas lamppost in the picture. There are obvious metaphors here but I'm hoping the painting speaks for itself. Oil on Canvas 18" x 26" (46cm x 66cm). Happy weekend 😀

Currently at the bandstand with chef Andi Oliver with this rather large painting for her multicultural festival today for a BBC series. Come along (on until 5pm)! Because of scheduling I only STARTED this painting on Friday 🙀 (painted in emulsion for speed!)

Just completed this. Any suggestions for a title??

Oil on Canvas 22" x 30" (56cm x 76cm). Painted with a palette knife, this work was a real test of patience. I LOVE our seagulls so wanted them to be the main subject. Happy weekend to you all. SR

This Sunday! Come out and take part in this year’s Folkestone Sandcastle Competition! Great, family friendly charity event with lots of prizes 😀 No need to pre register just turn up with your team. All proceeds to Art therapy locally. This lovely poster done by my daughter May ☀️
