Dancing by some Standing Stones in Cornwall
A few weeks ago I had fun collaborating with my friend and photographer Sharon Aston. The atmosphere dancing by the stones was very mystical. We thought that we would share this photo today to mark Imbolc or Imbolg which is a Gaelic traditional festival. It marks the beginning of spring and for Christians, it is […]
A ship at Cape Cornwall
The wild sea and rugged coastline of Cape Cornwall is romantic and mysterious. I didn’t see this ship with the red sails on the horizon but imagined it sailing along the coastline, blown by the wind.
Starlight
Discovering places and scenes gives me new material to work with and this boat in the foreground called “Starlight” motivated me to paint this painting of Cadgwith in Cornwall. The bunting helped to set the scene and enhance the perspective.

Dancing on the cliff tops at Rinsey in Cornwall

An Exhibition of small paintings at The Obsidian Gallery in Buckinghamshire
Here’s a photograph of me standing by some of my paintings at the “meet the artist afternoon” last month. Showing my work at a gallery also allows opportunities to receive commissions, make contacts as well as selling original paintings and I have quite a few commissions lined up for next year 2024.
A Winter Landscape
The light is lovely at this time of year and I particularly like the cold crisp days. I collect ideas when I go out for walks in the surrounding countryside and combine things that I see with whimsical characters from my imagination.
A closer look at “Rewilding of the fishing pool” in progress
Here is a closer look at the painting. It’s fairly near to completion and I shall probably come back to it in a few days to finish it off.
