Beadnell Bay (Northumberland)

Watercolour

Loch Ranza, in Scotland., Beautiful big open scene with a massive great sky, and just one tiny focal point. the castle in the distance. Notice how the big in the foreground although its foreground I've put it slightly out of focus so that the eye is not stopped from going into the painting.

(Oil) 

This is a scene called Stodmarsh Thanet in Kent.  I love this scene a typical Kent one, Big sky and a joy to do. And it doesn't take that long either. But notice the strength and contrast of colours.

Oxfordshire Lane

One of the main projects of the best selling book, Quick and Clever Watercolours. This is the original.

Tuscany 2
Dunstanburgh Castle (Oil)

This was the first one in the new oils book. A very quick and easy whack it on painting done on canvas panel. Just to show how easily it can be done.

 

This is a commission I did for Lord and Lady Meath of their lovely home in Dublin.

This one was inspired by the 2 prints that went on sale at the Tall Ship Race in Newcastle. As you can probably guess, I caught the bug.  This one is on a very large canvas in oils.

One of the paintings that was sold as a print at the Tall Ship Race. This one is an oil One of the paintings that was sold as a print at the Tall Ship Race. This one is a watercolour.

 

The mother of all paintings : It doesn't get much more complex than this, but if you examine it closely you will see that things like the houses of parliament are just a load of blocks and blobs, don't fiddle with tiny brushes.

 

A typical lovely English pastoral scene. what more can I say about this it sums up my kind of country and even though it looks a very summery scene note the strength of  the colour in the water.

Druridge Bay, Northumberland

Oil (90cm x 60cm)

One of my favourites, typical Suffolk boat scene lovely white buildings not too much going on in the sky, but it has a warm clean appeal.

Winter Wonderland.

Oil (36" 26")

 

Now who says painting nude study has to be difficult I am not a doctor, and done know all the muscle tones and bones structure of the body treat it like  landscape hills, bumps mounds and various curvaceous bits and its a joy to paint and this one didn't take long at all. Entitled "The Stretch"

This painting is of Cley Mill near Blakeney on North Norfolk coast.

St Pauls from Gabriel's Wharf : - A particularly nice view, simplified somewhat in order to capture the main focal point. I liked the way the light caught the buildings casting good strong shadows. This is a Norfolk dyke at twilight. The sketch was done in the daylight and I used artistic license to create what turned out  be a fairly atmospheric painting.
This is near Wheatley in Oxfordshire. I did this in a spare day I had between two shows last year. I think it sums up the area beautifully. This is the gateway to the back of Durham Cathedral. I suppose I could have done the cathedral but that would have been boring. This was a lovely intimate little view and again was one of the TV programs.  
This was done on one of the Devon holidays last year. It is of Salcolme and it reminded me of the south of France.   This one I did because quite simply, this is where I'd like to be. For a change not watercolour but acrylic painted as an oil on canvas panel.
This is James Herriot's house, the place where the famous books were written.  The picture was done as one of my painting programs on Tyne Tees TV and it was a desperately cold day. The last one done on the Spanish painting holiday, this is the beach to Rioja. A beautiful warm day with a hazy distance.  
I love this one, it's of Girvan on the west coast of Scotland.  I saw this view as I was traveling to a venue to do a workshop held in the little white buildings in the distance. A beautiful English scene with the girls inserted just for a focal point. Obviously they weren't there, again acrylic on canvas panel.
Whilst on a painting holiday in Northumberland last year the three boats were sitting particularly well in a harbour in Beadnel. There were lots of harbour walls and all kinds of gubbins around them but I chose to focus on the boats. This is just at the back of the Lodge Hotel done on one of the Devon painting holidays last year.
Again the Spanish painting holiday, and I was just interested in the intense light and shadow on the rocks. This painting was done whilst on a Saga holiday in Spain in January 2002.  This little village high in the hills is called Felix.  It was particularly nice to feel the warmth on your face in the middle of January
This is St. Peters Basin in the heart of Newcastle. Not many people realise it is there. Again it was for one of the TV programs and the water was practically frozen in my bucket as I painted. So you could say I suffered for my art. This is the harbour at Almeria, which again was from the same Spanish painting holiday. It was a beautiful day and the rocks in the distance practically glowed.

This painting is of the Sierra Nevada's and was again executed on the same holiday in Spain. The wind was blowing so hard that one of the holiday makers had to hold down my easel while I painted fast and furious.

 

Again from the Spanish painting holiday. The valley is known as the valley of the pyramids, because of the pyramid shaped hills going off into the distance. I liked this one because it looked old even as I was doing it.
