A road in winter in the south lake district. I painted this on a warm August afternoon – bit of a strange feeling painting such a wintry scene! This painting is a little larger than those I’ve done recently, about 18″x12″. Its the first oil painting I’ve done in a while.
Winter Road. Oil on canvas, 18″x12″. £100.
This is a painting my sister commissioned me to do. I really enjoyed painting it.
I carved this lamp for my sister for Christmas 2009 out of Meranti. It’s a hardwood in the mahogany family, with a very strong grain and produces a musty smell when you carve it. I love maps, so enjoyed carving the world into a globe shape for the middle. As the picture shows, I fed the wire for the lamp through the middle (I used a very large masonry drill bit) and borrowed a lamp fitting and shade from one of my mum’s bedside lamps! It is finished with a tinted varnish.
This is a painting I did when I was eleven years old. It is of the tree outside the flat where I lived with my Mum and Step-father. I clearly decided it would be best to paint the railings of our balcony first, and worry about the background later. I do think it makes for an interesting image though, even now!
This painting is from a larger image of a group of drummers. I particularly liked these three because of the way they’re sitting and have their eyes closed. I enjoyed using warmer colours in this painting. Oil on Canvas 12″ x 16″. For sale at £150.
This is one of a number of paintings I made after a memorable trip to the Valley of Aosta in 2008 with my girlfriend, Lucy. Acrylic on paper, 12″x8″. Sold.
This painting echoes some of the ideas presented in my red paintings, but I see the grey as a kind of a development of these. This is 18″x14″, acrylic on canvas.
