Art for sale

It gives me a very particular thrill to realise art concepts I’ve had in new ways, such as this Springtime Sparrows design on an oilcoth tablecloth ideal for al fresco dining (…should summer ever arrive this year). This cotton canvas oilcloth is a cut above the rest, hanging and gleaming like a satin tablecloth whilst… read more

I finally received a copy of this book (“In the Clouds”) in which my super-sized painting Relentless Light (2012) was published last year by Paris based art publishers Flammarion.

“Transience”. I wanted to capture the fragile, other-wordly beauty of some quite tiny blue flowers that appeared, self-seeded, in the cracks of my patio in the late summer. For over a month, this tiny plant produced 2 to 3 flowers each morning….only for the petals to scatter to the winds by lunchtime, every time. Yet,… read more

Is there such a thing as the perfect storm? This oh-so serene swan brought such a thing to mind. Content and self-focussed as a fiesty “storm” of blossom blew down onto her, for all the world like a heavy blizzard of snow or ice, and yet this storm was so benign that she hardly noticed.… read more

The Spring Exhibition at Gallery Fifty Five has seen the launch of one of my brand new acrylic prints, which offer a whole new contemporary spin to some of my more familiar work.

Something I’ve been asked fairly consistently for some time, by those who enjoy my work, is whether I make prints of my work available but, until recently, I had only ever offered reproductions of my pencil-work, assuming that it would be near impossible to reproduce my oil paintings to a standard that I was prepared… read more
