    Paintings at 'Steak of the Art , Ocean Village Southampton

    I am very pleased to have some of my marine inspired paintings on exhibition at 'Steak of the Art' the brilliant new restaurant and Gallery and music venue at Ocean Village, Southampton. The paintings will be on exhibition throughout the Southampton Boat show 2016. Great place with a great menu and some exciting music on the agenda. There is also a 'Steak of the Art' in Bristol and Cardiff which feature the work of artists local to those cities. Great concept that I wish I had thought of !

    Using oil paints cold wax medium and gold leaf

    Using oil paints cold wax medium and gold leaf

    Recently I have been increasingly using oil paints mixed with a cold wax ( bees wax ) medium to add texture and using applied gold leaf to add my characteristic reflective quality to the work. I hope that this is creating some distinctive results.

    Paintings will always be wrapped in bubble wrap with the corners protected and packed in a sturdy cardboard box. I always include a covering letter and a certificate of authenticity. I like to also include one of my original greetings cards as a small thank you. I use 'My Hermes' courier for UK postage and 'Parcels to Go' for international sales . Both couriers track the deliveries.

    Happy Accident

    Sometimes the palette looks better than the painting! This Photo taken by accident captures the pleasing abstract work that I normally struggle to create!
