    My Work in the Yorkshire Dales

    My Work in the Yorkshire Dales

    A number of my works have recently found their way to the Yorkshire Dales. Here we see them on Jennie's walls, where from her view from her seat in the living room, she can see three of my Woodlands series and one of my seascapes, with the moorlands of Bronte country out her window. Looks blissful.

    Poem Written About My Painting (part 2)

    Poem Written About My Painting (part 2)

    WHAT I SEE – A Proud House "A house transcends all purpose and design And paint surpasses in hindsight the record of focussed light Imbued with lives lived rich and sheltered in wallpaper defined Something raised above all description a distillation bright. School friends gone their paths fade in narrow winded days Histories will reveal life travels worn their purpose long set Hope boxed my laughter hard with glass at times half full But the proud house survives still and is well met."

    Poem Written About My Painting (part 1)

    Poem Written About My Painting (part 1)

    David Fry bought a painting of mine, “Proud House". and he contacted me to tell me that it had brought back many childhood memories for him and it inspired him to write a poignant poem about it. I thought I’d share part of it with you (in two parts). What I see - A Proud House "Join palette with oils tincture and powder to display The artist draws down with sight and prodigious emotion As alchemist hails a canvas sharp lined spare skilled too An affectionate depiction smoothed fine in occult lotion. What do I see in authentic rendition so germane A rare gift in practiced thought and summit won Is this an ethos for other endeavours by artists told? No…mesmerised true in a story book I am held by this one. Maybe I glimpsed what was intuition a fable in the making To bind a time and way to a journeyman’s remembered sight But mostly I am filled with a bitter sweet regret From childhood certainty in family life to lonely night."

    Gower, My Eternal Inspiration

    Gower, My Eternal Inspiration

    Here I am between Mewslade and Fall Bay in Gower which will be painted later when I get home. Gower is the main inspiration for my landscapes and seascapes and is a wonderful and inspirational place. Thank God I live so close to it.
