Welcome to my website, where you can find out all about me and my painting life. 

NOVEMBER NEWS

I've just finished two commissions for clients.  The first is RICHARD'S RIVER for a client who owns the fishing rights on the Upper Wye on the Welsh border and the other is ANNIE'S ROSE GARDEN for a client with a stately home overlooking ther Welsh hills. Both paintings were begun en plein air on two lovely sunny days in June.

 Here's a tantalising glimpse of details of paintings I'm currently developing over the winter in the studio. 

New landscapes and seascapes are emerging from my favourite locations, Wales, Yorkshire and Cornwall, and I'm also working on a new series of semi abstract flower paintings.

At my recent solo show at The Pavilion, Hereford, there was a lot of interest in my video showing sketches for a book in preparation over winter ROUND THE WORLD WITH A SKETCHBOOK, with  amusing anecdotes and sketches selected from 2 decades of sailing round the world as ARTIST IN RESIDENCE on Cruise Ships.

Here's a sneak peak at a few of the illustrations: 

And finally, my large painting of The Roman Baths was selected for exhibit at THE NEW BATH ART CLUB. Here are friends old and new at the Private View - I love a party!

Artist's Statement

I’m a contemporary colourist painter. I work joyously and I like people to recognise the subject I’m painting but I’m not aiming to paint like a photograph!

I work intuitively, building up paintings with layers of different kinds of vigorous mark making, using brushes, palette knives and textures.

For most works I paint on the finest quality linen using Artists’ quality paint, so my paintings won’t fade in sunlight and will potentially last for centuries!

My landscapes are generally begun on the spot, at favourite locations include the Cornish Coast, the Yorkshire Dales, and Snowdonia.

Recent more semi abstract work is evolving in the studio from paintings done en plein air, and from photographs.

I have exhibited with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters,  The New English Art Club and Women in Art at The Mall Galleries London in recent years and my paintings and portraits are in International private collections.
