Sunday Morning Walk

This is from a photo I took back in Autumn , there was strong light and the trees were glowing. The cat is an addition, I find myself ever so slowly moving towards a different style.

All That I Can Be


I love visiting The National Gallery , it is the home for classic paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, Turner to name but a few. When I feel at a loss I head for this gallery and sit in front of Turner's greatest paintings, their example gives me the will to keep moving forward.

This painting is a view from one the fountains looking towards the National Gallery.

Finding a Way Out ( Revised)

I've worked on this one a little more, added some warm colours whereas before there were too many cool colours. I think its finished now.

This song by James Bay is what this New Year means to me. To put past hurts and disappointments to one side and be free to live an artists life.

For you my friends I wish you all health and prosperity, and the best creative year yet.

Sunset on Leagrave Road

It feels so good to be back to painting in oils and painting what makes my heart sing.

After the Storm

After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the souls indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
