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.
I have been working on some wildlife paintings, beginning with these new hare paintings. I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture their expressive faces. These most recent hare paintings will be available on my website in a few days. They are smaller pieces at 45 x 65 cm and 50 x 60 cm.
Summer Sale of Small Paintings
Thank you to everyone who supported my sale last weekend, whether by logging on to take a look, sending me messages, or buying a painting! I am now busy packaging the paintings and organising shipping to UK , USA and Canada, Fourteen pieces found new homes and I couldnt be more delighted. This one is ‘Lysander’, photographed while getting varnished ready to travel.
Please excuse the mess of the tray under the canvas shelf- it gets very very painty under there!
I spent the week painting the Highland Cow in these lovely bright aqua shades.
Now freshly completed and getting dry in my studio this week. She has a very level and intense stare and is a dark ginger brown, with sunny highlights in her sweeping forelock. Painted with brushes, fingers and a palette knife, there is a lot of texture and movement in the piece. She is 30 x 40” / 80 x 100 cm, and this painting is now sold. Check out my new originals or why not commission your own custom Highland Cow art piece?

Once again, I have made a slideshow of the pieces that have found beautiful new homes this year.
Thank you everyone, I appreciate you a lot! Happy New Year!
My moving sale was a tremendous success and lots of fun too. The first purchase came ten minutes after the sale opened and by th eend of the week 32 pieces were sold and off to lovely new homes up and down the country and abroad! Im delighted that these pieces will be seen and enjoyed, rather than going into storage after my move. This photo shows the first batch of pieces ready to go. There were cardboard boxes everywhere that week!
