Spring Burst

I was so distracted by this flash of colour I had to stop the car and take a look. Crocuses and daffodils planted closely together in massive groups seemed audacious against the fading winter background.

Frost melting

Winter morning - I took a walk through the crunchy frost before the sun melted it away and changed the landscapes colours.

Purple frost

Frost melting - walking home, the sun had melted most of the frost away but purple pockets remained resisting its heat.

Watching the storm

My son spontaneously jumped into the Welsh sea on a very non beach day. The sky darkened dramatically and we watched as it rolled with the waves towards us.

CLOUDSCAPE

I loved painting this cloud ‘triptych’ capturing the ever changing sky and colours. The only challenge was how to photograph them together, so excuse the ‘propped on a bed’ look! Also which order should they go in?

Oil on canvas 51 x 40.5cm

Available individually (£200) or all together (£550)

last days of Autumn

This painting sold a while ago, but I recently delivered it, which seems good timing as we come to the end of a stunning autumn. Oil on canvas board 61 x 46cm

Maldon clouds

I can't stop looking at the ever-changing sky, especially the clouds. These ones are from a sunset in Maldon.

Stepping In

I'm finally painting again after the long summer break - seeking something different in style and failing to find it! Some say this dissatisfaction is the precursor to change. Here’s hoping!

Anyhoo here's an oil on canvas board of kids playing in the sea (30 x 40cm) For sale £200

Waterscapes?

I forgot to post these landscape commissions delivered over the summer, which I seem to be doing more of these days. Or should that be waterscapes?

Storm passing

I did a smaller version of this recently, so in anticipation of Thursday’s storm, had a go at a larger one! I think it captures the expansive space more as the changing clouds race across.

This sold before I had to chance to upload it, but I'm on a stormy clouds roll so there'll be more seascapes coming.

Denham Lake - my swimming haven

Over the last year this has become my place of escape...swimming in beautiful Denham Lake whatever the weather. This was on a good day!

Oil on canvas 46 x 35cm

More storminess

It seems crazy looking back, but I was so focussed on the sunlit boats, I didn't notice the approaching storm until I was in it.

Oil on canvas 59 x 41cm SOLD

Storm Brewing

I got caught in a storm on a walk in Maldon, Essex. I loved how the sky moved across from sunny to dark as though it were a moving picture. This was oil on canvas board, using 3 colours and a bit of white. For sale in my artwork section.

Hello Brave New World

I’m not going to to lie - these past months of homeschooling and barely picking up a paintbrush, along with a nice dose of Covid in half term for all the family, have been tough. But it’s made the last week with the kids back at school and myself happily planted in my studio all the more appreciated!

I’ve got behind with updates on portraits commissions for the end of 2020. - here’s one done for these 3 boys’ grandmother as a personal Christmas present. oil on canvas 50 x 40cm

Happy New Everything!

Happy New Year and good riddance to the last one! May 2021 be full of the hopes and positives that are keeping us all going at the moment. Stay safe and well all.

Some of my better moments in lockdown were spent painting these…
