    Safari Inspiration

    This year has been a real bumper year for travelling. Have saved in anticipation of this event for some years and we had a fabulous family safari this June in Kenya and Tanzania. So many great memories and Images...mostly of wildlife, but did also photograph some fabulous landscapes, coastal views sunrises and sun sets. No time to set up an easel unfortunately but the images will keep me inspired for a while.

    Fabulous Italy

    Fabulous Italy

    I have a great stock of images that would make great paintings from my recent epic six week road trip through Italy earlier this year. Have been planning this trip for probably 20 years! Thinking that I might create a painting inspired by each of the regions that I visited. I particularly loved Calabria.

    Received a very nice review from the buyer of my painting ' Green I ' " Lovely piece of art, very happy with the quality, finish and looks perfect at my front door entrance. The gold streaks sparkle through beautifully."

    Piazza Armerina

    Piazza Armerina

    I have enjoyed tackling a painting this week inspired by my trip to Sicily this past February. Piazza Armerina is a spectacular hill town nearby to the equally spectacular remains of the Roman Villa -Villa Romana Del Casale.

    Costa Brava to New York

    Costa Brava to New York

    I am very pleased to have dispatched my large painting 'Costa Brava I' off to a buyer in New York today. Lots of packaging and lovely forms to fill in! I have had a number of enquiries about this painting from potential buyers but this gentleman made an offer which I was happy to accept. Always worth making an offer!

    Norway Inspiration

    Norway Inspiration

    I toured around in South West Norway this past July with the family. Great that my two grown up kids came along and we made some lovely memories. The landscape is spectacular of course but strangely difficult to capture in a painting. The light and sky change so quickly. I think that it must be lovely to paint 'en plein air ' here. ...Maybe next time.

    New Powerful Places

    New Powerful Places

    I have enjoyed being in the studio creating some new paintings for my 'Powerful places' collection of paintings inspired by my travels this past year. I always love this as it evokes some happy memories. The fantastic power of art of course! This year I am heading to Italy and I am looking forward to capturing impressions of many more powerful places.

    Christmas Canvas?

    Christmas Canvas?

    Had this idea that I would use classical Christmas colours to create a series of paintings that could be brought out each year as seasonal decorations which I hope would become family tradition. Not sure that this is not a naff idea....but why not ?
