    Arcus

    Arcus..... Latin for rainbow...My latest pair of paintings are inspired by rainbow trout. The range of skin colour and markings is a wonder of nature and inspire some fantastic shimmering abstract images!

    Golden Skies

    Golden Skies

    There have been some particularly dramatic sun sets in Hampshire these past few weeks which have been such powerful inspiration for paintings. I think that I am probably addicted to sunsets. With the depressing decline in the political state of the UK currently it seems as if nature is trying even harder to lift the spirits!

    There have been grey skies in the UK over the past few days so I have been craving a bit of colour therapy!

    Impatient for Spring

    Impatient for Spring

    Generally I tend to follow the seasons with my landscape inspired paintings but I am getting impatient for Spring now! I am still enjoying using my latest purchase of Windsor and Newton professional iridescent paints.

    Nebulae are a great distraction from the shameful, selfish state of politics in the United Kingdom currently. This mess too will pass..... and Nebulae will of course remain.

    Freshwater Bay in Winter III

    Freshwater Bay in Winter III

    Great subject and particularly in Winter when the Atlantic waves crash in. .....Spending some time immersed in this special place at the moment. Can you hear the sea? The nature of the rounded rocks and the shape of the bay creates a unique sound.

    I may be spending too long alone in my studio lately! Channelling Vincent Van Gogh!

    Winter at Freshwater Bay

    Winter at Freshwater Bay

    I am enjoying incorporating my new iridescent Windsor and Newton Professional Acrylic paints to create a series of paintings inspired by the winter weather at Freshwater Bay on the fabulous Isle of Wight.

    Freshwater Bay

    I hope that I have captured this recent windy day at Freshwater Bay. The bay is known to have a unique sound as the stones are moved up the beach and being pulled back into the sea. I never tire of visiting this very special place.

    I am endlessly fascinated by nebulae. Always a good way to kickstart painting in the New year!

    Nymphaea alba

    Nymphaea alba

    I have been inspired to look again at the vibrant colours in Monet's water lily paintings. There are a series that Monet created with a combination of ultramarine blue, Alizarin crimson and phthalo green which are particularly striking. I have used these colours and added a twist with iridescent green and blue shades. I need 16 years more practice on just this subject!
