Lay Me Down
Inspired by Sam Smith's love song, I wanted to attempt a rare appearance of the colour green in my work. I think it just about worked!
Socks On The Beach
I love to play about with words and sayings and the title definitely came before the painting here. I wanted to use my favourite colour combination of purple and orange…
Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night
In search of my favourite palette here as much time was spent with the positioning of each colour to give the whole piece a pleasing flow visually.
Stay With Me
I think the colours of the cliffs changed a dozen times here as I struggled for the right blend overall. I was please with the result and must re-visit this…
Strong
A tribute to Beatrix Potter who visited Wray Castle, Cumbria in 1882. This is not a real castle but a private house built in in the Gothic Revival Style in…
We Can Rule The World
I guess there's previous inspiration taken from visits to Cornwall and the Lake District here... I'm not sure where this view is but I hope it exists...!
Lure of the Lakes
This brand new piece takes much inspiration from visits to Ambleside on Lake Windermere in the Lake District - a beautiful part of the world. The ducks seem to be…
Wonderful Land
I wanted an excuse to paint the shimmering effect of lights on water and took it to the extreme here... Inspired by visits to Ireland and the Lake District.
Golden Days
Are they bushes or trees? Is it a path or a river? I'll let you decide...
Avalon Sunset
Inspired by the Van Morrison song 'Avalon of the Heart'...
Edinburgh - Castle of Dreams
I love the silhouetted architecture of ancient buildings such as castles and felt it was perfect for this fictional setting...
The Remains of the Day
The trees here were inspired by the Madagascan baobab trees with their distinctive clumpy shapes. I must feature them again...
Underneath The Arches
Always on the lookout for unusual shapes to silhouette I felt the arched railway bridge fitted perfectly here...
Ringtail
My interpretation of Ringtail naval airbase near Burscough, Lancashire during World War Two...
Shades of Summer in Autumn Wood
I tried a slightly different palette here with much more muted tones combined with a hint of distant summer...
Running Up That Hill
Using my own 'Warwick Castle - the Mound' as inspiration here, but this time using a townscape as the background...
Cream Quackers
A popular piece which once again demonstrated my liking for the avenue of trees effect...
The Homecoming Herd
This is ultimately my favourite palette and my more recent work is indulging in it once again. I guess it gives maximum effect to my trademark elongated shadows...
Silent Shadows
My earlier work often featured surreal scarecrows in violet tinged landscapes...
Somewhere Only We Know
Inspired by the Keane and Lily Allen song from a few years ago, I wanted to paint a peaceful, secretive sanctuary where lovers visit to find peace, romance and to…
You Always Love This Time Of Year
Inspired by recent walks, I wanted to capture the stillness and palette of nature's spectacular Autumn display. The title is also a line in anĀ iconic 1970's hit single, which was…
Here's To The Ones Who Dream
A slight departure from my usual theme, the background has been stripped away to leave trees, lovers, shadows and whatever the viewer imagines...
The Stars Are Coming Out Tonight
I've worked with strong composition lines here - the underlying effect being of a spiral composition, to lead the viewer's eyes around the painting. The title is inspired by a…
What A Wonderful Wood
I've always felt that woods are full of magic and mysterious beauty and inspired by black and white landscape photography, I set out to paint a believable but slightly fantasy…
Reach For The Heights
This is my first foray into text and imagery and I'm pleased with the result. The background is stripped away leaving the interpretation to the viewer's imagination..... As a friend…
But Soon Comes The Night
This was painted as a surreal scenario - the cows walking along the edge of the hill, casting elongated shadows into the foreground. However, this piece has been interpreted in…
You Rock!
Each summer inspires me to paint down on the beach - not literally - and I've taken inspiration here from the work of digital artist Ty Carter, with his dramatic,…
Autumn Romance in Summer Wood
This is a sequel to my earlier piece 'Shades of Autumn In Summer Wood'. I wanted to feature the deer in a way that they weren't unnerved by the passing…
Avalon Of The Heart
This is a slightly different palette to my usual works with more emphasis on mood and tone. Based on personal experience in a beautiful part of the Lake District called…
Love Is The Answer
The painted image continues around the edges of the canvas
All The Stars We Steal From The Night Sky
Inspired by the song Never Enough from the hit musical film The Greatest Showman, which was described by songwriter Justin Paul as an extravagant sensory overload, I tried to create…
We Should Cherish The Love We Have
I was inspired by my own garden for this piece, it's about taking inspiration within nature, living in the moment and valuing what we have... With gold acrylic applied to…
It Must Be Love
My inspiration for this original painting is Durdle Door, a rocky outcrop on the south Dorset coast. I wanted to use a more realistic and muted palette which I felt…
Haven in the Woods
I've always felt that there's something magical about a mysterious house in the woods. The extended shadows created by the trees at dusk add to the drama, especially at this…
Sunset Over Greenock
My main brief for this new original was the purple palette which fortunately works really well in a sun setting landscape. It felt like a painting of two halves after…
