Early Work Sold
This page shows the early development of my oil paintings from 2021 to 2023 where the work began to show a more recognisable 'visual language' that has come to represent my process. The rich impasto and strong colour schemes that I now use came from these earlier works.
Walled Garden Irises
Oil on Medite panel (incl' frame) -
​
The walled garden near Kemerton Court and opposite the church is a delight to see when the flowers are in full bloom. I was lucky to find this glorious row of irises near the apple tree and glistening in the sunshine during the summer of 2023.
Kemerton Court Wood
Oil on Medite panel​ (incl' frame) -
​​​
Painted in Summer 2023, It shows a view along a path cut through the the cow parsley and tall grasses leading to a small woodland. The path goes from the end of the walled garden, towards Kemerton Court.
Oddington Bluebells I
Oil on Canvas
The first in a series of works based on the lovely Oddington bluebell wood. This went to a newly married couple who loved it. 2023
Cheltenham Magnolia
Oil on Canvas
A painting based on a short window of opportunity when he magnolia was in full bloom in the front garden of a house in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. 2022
Lion Skies
Oil on canvas​ - 60 x 60 cms
​
The dramatic skyscapes seen around the Cotswolds inspired this painting. The movement of clouds and the sound of the wind in the air led to painting in a more gestural and expressive way using a palette knife only. 2022
Wildflower Meadow
Acrylic on Medite panel​ - 20 x 20 cms
​
I was painting wildflowers near Wick in Gloucestershire on a hot summer day. Close by there is also a beautiful array of fields full of fabulous flowers called 'The Confetti Fields' where they grow, harvest and crop them to make natural, bio-degradable confetti. 2022
View to Another Place
Acrylic on Medite panel - 20 x 20 cms
​
Based on watercolour sketches of a strangely magical view through a wide hedge near home in Tewkesbury. 2021
Sentinel
Acrylic on Medite panel - 20 x 20 cms
​
I painted this fabulous oak at Cadbury Castle March in Devon where it sat to the left of the ancient entrance to the Iron Age hill fort. The whole 'keep' was ringed by oaks but this one was spectacular. 2021
