Rayleigh Windmill – Final 2 Weeks Recap

Feels like I only just started, but my time at the windmill, at least for this year, is already over. Here are some of my favourite pictures from the last couple of weeks.

Rayleigh’s iconic windmill

I wanted to take a photo each time I was on my way into the windmill, experimenting with different angles and compositions, to share on my Instagram stories – if you follow me over there then you may recognise a few of these!

In the art studio

I changed a few things around during the second half of my stay, nothing too crazy just keeping things fresh for visitors. The box easel I used to display my portfolio, very unhelpfully, fell apart slightly so I’ll need to pick another one up soon. Good thing really, I needed a bigger one that was more stable, it just seemed a shame not to use one I already had. That was the only mishap, so I’m grateful nothing went too wrong while I was up in my studio.

Sunny garden flowers

I made a point of arriving early whenever I could since it gave me a chance to enjoy the beautiful garden next door. With the incredible weather that April blessed us with, the flowers were literally glowing most days I visited.

I got so used to going to this wonderful studio space that I’m sure I’ll feel a little lost at the weekend when I remember my exhibition time is finished.

Thank you so much to everyone who visited and took the time to view my artwork, your support means so much to me. Don’t forget, if you’ve been inspired by any of my portraits, you’re welcome to get in touch and I can create one specially for you.

Keep an eye on my events diary as I may be returning in 2027!
