News and snaps from my studio. Sometimes I write about new pieces that I’m working on that are not released yet. If I think of a tip or piece of advice that will help you look after your painting I’ll often share it here. If there’s something specific you want to find, there is a search box down below.
Big Cow on Canvas
Im getting close to finishing this big lady, (100 x 120cm ) My easel at the studio in Ferrers is not my big hefty easel, and I really noticed the difference yesterday. I had to hammer three wooden canvas wedges into the workings of the easel to stop it sliding down to the floor under the weight of this canvas.
Beautiful new cow painting for sale - textured painting in glowing colours is now available.
My latest cow painting for sale is Talisker, in rich glowing shades of chocolate, gold and warm orangey-reds. I painted this big guy using thickly applied paint over thinner underlayers, creating a lot of texture and movement, The layered colours absolutely glow! This is one of the many beautiful things about oil painting, you can glaze on top on under layers and create dazzling effects. Because of the thickness of the paint, and the type of colour used, this piece is taking weeks to dry!
Update: this piece is now available from Creative Fine Art, Marlborough.
Of course, I named him Talisker because of his beautiful whisky colours!
These two 50 x 60 cm pieces are travelling to Australia to a lovely new home .
Big Colourful Cow Painting
This piece is my biggest Highland Cow yet, I think, at 90 x 120 cm. I’ll try and get a good photo of the painting on the wall once I have made the final touches. It’s always very difficult to get a decent photo while the paint is still wet.
Update: This big colourful cow painting is now sold. Please see my newly released paintings here.

I popped to the NEC for the Spring Fair at the weekend, mainly to see everyone on the Wraptious stand and wish them luck for the show. It was also an opportunity to have a look at the new collections.
With Simon and Naomi and some of my designs.
