Waterloo Sunset, London
I used to go to London quite often for meetings. At the end of the day, on my way to the station, I was sometimes greeted by a magnificent sunset. Mixed media painting 500 x 400mm.
Bluebells at Micheldever
Early one May evening on a back-route home from work I passed through Micheldever Wood near Winchester on my way to Northington. From the road I could see a fantastic carpet of bluebells spread through the wood and just had to stop and look. The atmosphere was overwhelmingly one of calm and serenity with light breaking through the tree canopy and a sea of blue flowers. I hope this painting captures that mood. Original 700 x 400 mm on canvas Prints & cards available
Rowing Boats, Poole Harbour

Cuckmere Haven, Sussex
The Haven is a splendid place to walk with spectacular views of the Seven Sisters and The Belle Tout Lighthouse in the distance on top of Beachy Head. I have tried to capture the same splendour in this painting. It’s taken me three goes to get it right! Mixed Media painting 600 x 440 mm.
View from The South Bank
One of my favourite places to walk is along the South bank of the Thames in London. The iconic lights along the path form a great feature which I have tried to capture here. Original 400 x 300 mm available Prints & cards available
View from the South Bank
I have painted this view of St. Paul’s from the South Bank a number of times. In this one I wanted to try and capture the colours of the cathedral and surrounding buildings set against a dramatic sky and creating bold reflections in the water. Original 500 x 400 mm available Prints & cards available
My Favourite Chestnut Tree
Chestnut trees are amongst my favourite. I love the way they stand so impressively and produce an amazing canopy of leaves; flowers and fruit each year. In this painting I have tried to represent this amazing annual cycle. Original 680 x 300 mm available Prints & cards available
Val D'Orcia, Tuscany
The landscape of Val d’Orcia is part of the agricultural hinterland of Siena, redrawn and developed when it was integrated in the territory of the city-state in the 14th and 15th centuries to reflect an idealized model of an aesthetically pleasing picture. The landscape’s distinctive aesthetics have inspired many artists. The area exemplifies the beauty of a well-managed Renaissance landscape. In 1999 the area was protected as an Artistic, Natural and Cultural Park and was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2004. In this painting I have tried to capture the beauty of the ascending route lined with Cypress trees and reflecting the warm Tuscan sunshine through a summer haze. Original 400 x 400 mm (sold) Prints & cards available
Poppies
A field of poppies is a brilliant sight. The way they just appear randomly and look so vibrant but delicate adds to their appeal and charm. In this painting I wanted to depict them from a low angle showcasing some of the flowers against a summer sky. Original 600 x 480 mm available Prints & cards available
Misty Morning
A view from the Hampshire Downs on an early summer morning with the rising sunlight catching low-lying mist. I loved the atmoshere and array of colours. Digital painting 500 x 250 portrait Original available
A Walk on The Downs
This painting was inspired by many happy hours spent walking on the South Downs - now a National Park. The South Downs Way takes you along a coastal path up and over beautiful chalk down-land. In the painting I have tried to capture the sheer beauty and pleasure of walking in the downs on a summer’s day. This may be as close as I will ever get to a self-portrait! Original 600 x 600 mm (sold) Prints & cards available
Poppies at Cranborne Chase
The sight of a field full of poppies is a wonderful thing. Cranborne Chase is a good place for finding them. In this painting I have tried to capture how the carpet of poppies generates a sea of bright red tones across the landscape. Cranborne Chase is an area of chalk downland straddling the Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset borders. The village of Cranborne nearby was founded by Saxons. The word “chase” comes from the use of the area by royal hunting parties in Tudor times. Original 500 x 500 mm on canvas available. Prints & cards available
Sundown at Plozevet
I was staying in a house on Plozevet, Brittany and was treated to this glorious sunset one eveing. I wanted to capture the silhouette of the houses against the vibrant colours of the sky. Digital painting 500x500 Original available
On the road to Sienna
Based on a photograph taken in August 2005 whilst driving in Tuscany from Podgi to Sienna. It was an incredibly hot late afternoon; the sky a brilliant blue and the fields dry from the summer sun. Original 500 x 400 mm (sold) Prints & cards available
Headlands Warren Farm, Dorset
This painting is based on a photograph taken by Richard Knights. The colour contrast between the heather and the moorland grasses was stunning. The farm features one of the few remaining Devon Longhouses. Viewed looking eastwards from Headland Warren near Challacombe Down, in the middle of the Two Tors Way. Hookney Tor is on the left and Hameldown Tor on the right. The area between the Tors is Grimspound used by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as Grimspound Mire in the “Hound of the Baskervilles”. Original 600 x 380 mm available Prints & cards available
Ben Tianavaig, Skye
Commissioned in 2010, this painting depicts a view of Ben Tianavaig in Skye. The view is from the Isle of Raasay looking across the Narrows of Raasay to Skye. The mountain in the background is viewed looking north-west from the coast of Raasay between Clachan and Oskaig. On a bright and still day the scene is very evocative of the western isles of Scotland. Original 600 x 380 mm (sold) Prints & cards available
Barn at Swaledale
This painting is from one of my favourite Yorkshire Dales. These stone barns are very characteristic of the area and form a lovely part of the landscape when out walking the many paths. Seen on a bright day amongst a meadow of early summer flowers. The colours are fabulous, inspired by a photo by David Tarn. Original 400 x 400 mm on canvas available. Prints & cards available
Walking the Dogs on Lewis
This is one of a series of paintings of the Western isles of Scotland. I love this view from the Isle of Lewis but decided to add a couple walking their dogs to give a sense of scale. Mixed media painting 320 x 500mm.
