This is a painting of the lane behind our house in Brittany. We don't go there as often as we used to - or as I'd like - but now I have a painting to remind me what I'm missing.

Oil on paper 40cm x 40cm

These two studies were done at a life drawing day with Anthony Connolly at Somerleaze. They are not finished, and may never be, but it was an interesting, useful and entertaining day.

This is a painting from a photo that I took of our field about 3 years ago on a very frosty morning - and the other day I saw the self same scene. I painted this in about 4 different layers with lots of glazes and then added the tree at the end.

I find it much easier to do pastel or ink life drawings but I'm really pleased with this oil painting.

The two pictures below are the largest paintings I've ever done. Oil on canvas, about 100 cm x 50 cm. Will and Charlotte wanted pictures of Cornwall and Brittany. The Cornish picture (on the left) is, I think near where they got engaged, but I may have made that up. The Brittany painting is looking down the coast from Prat Alec. Always an amazing view.

​These small drawings below were all done during the summer and autumn of 2019. I find pen and ink a slightly haphazard medium, in that you never feel quite in control.That's not always a bad idea!

​Penharn beach, oil on canvas. 50 cm square. I used lots of glazes to try and get the depth of light in the sea

​Theolen beach - oil on paper. 25 cm square

​

These three drawings all came from a morning experimenting with ink and brush. I particularly like the sepia one. Partly because of the pose and partly because of the colour.

​White Sheet Hill, oil on paper. Again, lots of glazes. 30cm square
