    Charity auction of 8 of my paintings for the Rose Road Association

    It is the last week of this auction to raise much needed funds for the brilliant Rose Road Association for which I am privileged to act as a trustee. All Delivery costs will be covered and all funds will go to support the Rose Road Association. Please google the Rose Road Association for links. These paintings are not currently available through Artfinder but have proved popular and have received many 'loves' and this potentially is a good opportunity to buy one of my paintings at a competitive price.

    Christmas Canvas

    Christmas Canvas

    This week I have been working on a series of abstract paintings using the traditional colours associated with Christmas... green, red, gold and purple. I was thinking that I would have these for home to bring out at Christmas time each year. I do not think that this is a widely adopted practice and wondered if anyone else might be interested?

    Freshwater Sunsets

    I am very fortunate to be able to spend time on the fabulous Isle of Wight at Freshwater Bay, my favourite spot in the unspoilt West Wight. The golden sunsets over the bay this year seem to have been particularly spectacular.

    Inspiration from nature from plant cells to nebula

    Inspiration from nature from plant cells to nebula

    I find inspiration for my paintings right across the vast variance in scale in the natural world from the structure of plant cells up to galaxies and nebulae.

    Micheldever Morning Series of Paintings

    Micheldever Morning Series of Paintings

    I have been working recently on a series of paintings inspired by the fabulous Micheldever Beech Woods near Winchester in Hampshire during the springtime. Here each year users are reliably treated to the display of a carpet of bluebells with a flush of fresh, bright green new beech leaves. The theme was the subject of a recent workshop that I ran as part of Hampshire Open Studios. I am very pleased that two small paintings form the series have already sold.
