Stormy skies
No matter how sunny it is outside I keep coming back to stormy skies! I’ve now painted this scene 3 times - I love the scale, and the contrast between nature and the tiny boat. Also the hopefulness of the blue sky appearing.

Private view at arts depot
A while back. I went to the private view of the Arts Depot Spring Arts and Crafts showcase where my painting Maldon clouds was exhibited. I had a great time meeting local artists and makers and seeing their work.
Painting On hAmpstead HeatH
I had a lovely time painting with a group of friends from Hampstead School of Art on Hampstead Heath. We sat in front of Henry Moore’s statue looking across the lake with the top of Highgate peeking through.
I had a go at acrylics on a smaller canvas board which seemed to lead to a tighter more illustrative style.

Art on display
Fantastic to see a selection of my artworks hanging together @emscoffeelondon and a couple at @potterspantry4 .
I’m thinking I might be working up to my first exhibition. If you know of a gallery that might fit, please shout as I’m still new to all this. Em’s in Whetstone and Potters Pantry in New Barnet do the BEST coffee!
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.
Oil on canvas 30 x 42.5cm. Part of gallery sale.
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.
40 x 30cm
