Thanks to those of you who have emailed to ask if I am on holiday, ill or dead! Either people really care or they just want to know if the value of their Joe Hendry paintings have suddenly rocketed.

Well, thanks for the concern, it really does mean a lot. The honest answer is that I have had a touch of “painters block”. This has happened before and more experienced artists than me have advised that it always goes away and a return to form just “happens”. I am pretty ssure that this is sound advice as I have been here before.

So, other than finishing  few pieces off for the upcoming Homes and Interiors Exhibition I have been dabbling in a couple of landscapes and a few other bits and pieces but very aware that I have not been uploading new artwork.  Today it felt like I was getting back into the swing so please watch this space…
