My latest commissioned painting


I have been playing around with this large painting. it is 70x210cm. I think I have all but completed it now, a decent photo follows...it's a hard shape to photograph!

My very bad habit.....

I cannot resist re-working canvasses! I need to hide finished work away, it's just too tempting. I have added to my Autumn Light canvas......I prefer the new. It's bit more cohesive.

Studio shot

Well, it is outdoors actually. My latest commissioned painting (210x70cm), nearly completed and a corner of a 100x100cm canvas with just one layer of paint on... a long way to go!


Tiny painting

This small painting is 30x30cm. I have called it 'Blue Afternoon'. Take a look at my work for sale page. I have enjoyed all those textures!

This morning...



 I have been refining my palette with this painting, trying to use fewer colours and more white/pale shades.

Conversation with my garden

I have been inspired by more abstracted painting, this 90x90cm work in progress has had me totally absorbed today.




The photo below shows the same painting last week.

Sky Meets Hill

I am always working on small paintings in my studio. I find it really helpful, and almost use them as a sketchbook of ideas and colours i can look at.
Here is one, which I have called 'Sky Meets Hill'

Early Autumn Morning

This is 60x60cm, one of my favourite sizes and formats. I have bought several yellow toned and oxide paints, which I am so enjoying. They are mainly transparent, and layers of glazing and building up intensity in colour is something I find fascinating. i use Golden acrylic paints...take a look at their site . I'm a kid in a sweetshop there!

Trees and Flowers

This painting has been on a journey, there are lots of colours, and ideas underneath this final layer. It's quite textured for that reason.
It is 40x50cm, and I have titled it 'Trees and Flowers'.
