The Finished painting of Severnside South
I have finished this commissioned painting and I have taken it to the framers to be framed. I created a similar painting a few years ago of this same scene but in autumn. I am so pleased that spring has finally arrived and I think the bright greens are reflected in this painting. I have […]
White cat and shells
This painting is more imaginative. I like to use the round table at home as a prop and although we don’t have a white cat I thought it would work well with the white shells in a poetic way.
A harbour view
This study is a straight view out of the window without any distortion. I was pleased with the bold composition.
Sea shells and Flowers
In this study I have reflected the aqua marine blues of the sea in the foreground and I have used a wide angle so that you can see much of the harbour.
The finished paintings of a window view of Porthleven Harbour
The paintings took a while to complete. I like to add depth of colour and detail to create the right atmosphere and mood.

RHS Garden show at Malvern
I’m busy preparing for my shows which begin at the end of next month. Last year at the RHS Spring Garden in Malvern, I was demonstrating painting a picture of Falmouth in Cornwall. Fortunately we were exhibiting in one of the large barns inside and I shall be there again this year with Boffy Arts […]

Spring bluebell fairy
At long last spring is arriving and the bluebells will soon be flowering. In anticipation I have begun painting a fairy tryptic, this bluebell fairy is the first of the three.
A Commision of Severnside South in Progress
I am currently working on a painting of Severnside South in Bewdley. It is a large painting in gouache and I have set the scene in spring. I want to add some more flowers in the foreground, perhaps daffodils and tulips; then develop the detail of the houses with bricks and tiles. The painting is […]
