Recent Work

I have been re-evaluating Gouache for still life painting. Although different to oils, I am finding ways to achieve the effects that I want. Neocolor Pastels are closely related to gouache and I have been using them for sketching.

Musicians

The interior of public bars and the performance of session musicians make an interesting subject.

Sketching

Sketching is important, there is no pressure to create a considered painting. Try out different media and keep your equipment to a minimum.

Exmoor

Exmoor can be a wild and windswept place, with highland cattle and ponies roaming free. I particularly like it in autumn and early winter.

Lizard Penninsular

The Lizard has many interesting places for a painter. It has rugged cliffs, surfing beaches and small harbours.

Tresco

Tresco, in the isles of Scilly, is a painter's paradise. Whatever the wind direction, you can walk to a sheltered bay.
