These two paintings above were done in the Summer of 2019 for Will and Charlotte. It's the first time I've worked on such large canvasses (100cm x 70cm). Cornwall on the left and Brittany on the right.

In real life the colours are not as garish as here.
Trépassés

The light was really extraordinary. I took the photo from which I painted it when Lulu, Clive and I were out painting in the spring.

This is (from the left) Chris Sykes, Will and George. I painted it in 2009 but from a photograph that was probably taken in about 1996. The image of the children that I had in my mind was an illustration by Edward Ardizzone of a story called 'Elsie Piddock skips in her sleep' by Eleanor Farjeon. In the illustration the child's movement is suggested rather that shown in detail.
Baie des Trépassés - version 1

Oil on paper 2009
This version is meant to have a great sense of depth - whereas the one below is meant to be flat.
Baie des Trépassés - version 2

Oil on paper 2009
The brush strokes on this version are vertical as opposed to horizontal. The idea being that it would create a flat image (as opposed to Version 1). It was incredibly hard to do because it felt so unnatural but I really like the result. I haven't been able to do it again but i will keep trying!
Tixiers' house - Brittany 2009

Oil on canvas
I did the drawing for this in March when Lulu Chivers, Clive Thomas and I went out to Brittany for our first painting holiday! Lulu did a very colourful picture of Théolen which is in Capsize, and Clive painted a beautiful watercolour looking south from the lane up towards Théolen which he won't let me have!

Probably 2003
I took the photo for this painting from our hotel window when Paddy and I were in Hong Kong with Kim and Missy. I love this painting - mostly because there is so little colour in it and I like the energy that it has.

I painted this for Hermione for Christmas in 2005. When she died I gave it to my sister Liz. Hermione loved Brittany and loved us being there. This one of the most beautiful views of that part of the world
