In celebration of green and red

A perfect combination of colours! I love green and red together, this 30x90cm painting uses that alongside yellows, pinks and mauves.

Red alert

I'm working on a red canvas a the moment, it's in my studio and I keep looking at it trying to decide what to do next...it is 30x40cm. Sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something!!

Saatchi Art also sell open edition prints from some paintings too. I have been lucky enough to sell quite a few prints in this way. The prints are available in various sizes and on paper or canvas, you can even get them framed.

The three below are examples of the prints I have sold recently in this way.

Details from a painting


I can find it hard to get a good photographic likeness from a painting, especially when the format is a long rectangle, as in the painting below.  Yellow Bank is 120x40cm and £850.

Here are a few snippets from the painting.

I hope that you are looking foward to a fun weekend, we are joining some friends on Saturday evening to help celebrate a landmark birthday.....discretion forbids me spilling the beans! I am making the cake, which is the sort of task I love.

I have decided on Nigella Lawson's gorgeous flourless chocolate almond cake. it is most delicious and definitely worth the planning ahead time needed to boil oranges (not the sort of thing I do in my kitchen very often it must be said).



This photo comes from a lady named Courtney on Pinterest, it is made using hazlenut flour, and looks pretty good too.

Talking of gorgeous things I have been spending time with a childhood friend and inspiration this week. The amazing illustrator Brian Wildsmith has definitely influenced me on a deep level. His colours!!

 Take a look below at a couple of his works, and follow this link to a major fan on Pinterest


"What the Moon Saw" written & illustrated by Brian Wildsmith. Oxford University Press, 1987.

Lots of layers and paint on this canvas. I find pinks, reds, oranges, cream and pastel shades a mesmerising puzzle.

Lift off for prints 🚀

I have had prints in my repertoire for a while now, but not really engaged with marketing.

This week has been a bit of a turning point as I have sold several from my website - which I am really thrilled about.

They are such lovely quality, printed locally by a specialist art printer near Hastings, East Sussex, limited edition (50 only) and available on canvas or lovely paper.

Take a look below for a selection of my prints, and here is a link to my website to browse further, and get more information on packaging and delivery.

Have a lovely weekend all!

Playing with my new camera


I am having such a wonderful morning experimenting with my new camera. It's an investment with a fabulous lens. Food has burnt on the hob and coffee has got stone cold in the cup....I am currently reading a manual.

Wish me luck!

The painting above and below is titled Cascade and is 30x30cm.
