In the 1990's I published a daily diary on the internet that followed my work as a painter and sculptor. Schools and colleges throughout the world accessed the site and it can lay claim to being the world's first "blog". The diary continues from my studio at Antrim and is currently followed by thousands of art students in over fifty countries.

"Notes for Art Students" began life four years ago as a supplement for students attending my art classes. I have now re-launched the site in the hope that it will benefit all Dominican students who will be taking the CXC exam in Visual Arts.

From now on these pages will interactive and feature your work...your successes and what you may think as your failures. Send a photo to: antrimstudio@gmail.com of the painting or drawing that you would like me to critique. I will then feature your work along with my feedback.

Before and After Social Distancing


Up to the advent of the Corona Virus the regular followers of my blog, sculpturestudiodominica.blogspot.com were artists and art students in over sixty countries. Now my world-wide audience has increased dramatically in terms of general interest, indicating that art has therapeutic role to play in these difficult times.

I started Notes for Art Students years ago specifically for CXC Visual Art students in Dominica. At that time my followers were few and far between. But thanks to the Corona Virus it is now beginning to attract a world-wide audience. Hence, its present resurrection.

The opening picture is of a studio visit by Dominica Grammar School students and the one below is a demonstration sketch I made of Shayla.   


Although at this point in time I cannot have actual studio visitors, I have thousands of virtual ones!
