Day 11, of Christmas ❄️ winter holidays.
Celebrating some rare moments, dear to me, of the collection of my dear friend Peter Jamieson 🎐A painter and print maker.

1.) I modelled for in 2012 ‘Acrobat and Horse’. The original drawing and prints for sale in his gallery.
2.) ‘The Church Tower at Eccles’ , now lost to the Great Water, 1889. One of the very rare parts of Peter’s collection by another artist, unknown, framed in West London, around the turn of the last century.

Peter and I share alot of artistic ground over many coffees and gin and tonics. His talent always inspires me. And his attention to detail. His collection is available to view my appointment, if you missed his Christmas show this year, on Saturdays throughout the year.

Follow him on insta and Facebook. Join his mailing for his Christmas show invitation and annual send out of his new work.
