‘Jake’ 

Pastel on paper             20 x 19 cm

Commission – SOLD

Jake is a Patterton breed. He’s very lively so I took photographs of him to work from!

FOR SALE

This one of the many trees in Warley Woods – an old wood that was once part of James Galtons estate in Bearwood on the outskirts of Birmingham. It’s a favourite spot for both families and dog walkers and a little haven of peace in a busy, noisy city.

FOR SALE

Graphite on paper 7″ x 7″

This is cropped section of a much larger photo taken of the fishing boats down at Mevagissey harbour.

I like cropping images that (hopefully) makes the viewer think about the larger picture.

FOR SALE

Graphite on paper 6″ x 5″

This is taken from a cropped photo taken at the local cove. Backed by dunes

which are protected by  a row of tumbling fencing. A towel thrown over the fence

gave them a lonely forgotton air that took my interest.

FOR SALE      SOLD

Graphite on paper 4″ x 4″

This drawing is from a closely cropped photograph I took of a pile

of fishing ropes outside one of St Ives artist studios.

Although I’ve drawn them in graphite here, they were a wonderful

bundle of blues and aquas.

FOR SALE

Acrylic paint on paper

Taken from a Beyond the Surface painting.

Using Photo shop I cropped, layered, flipped  to alter the image,

before moving it into paint.

FOR SALE

Acrylic & Gold Leaf on paper 36 x 30cm

This is done in several layers, adding paint, scraping it off until the desired effect was achieved. The copy doesn’t really do it justice as it has dark depths and glittering surfaces.

Inspired by the photo below taken late at night overlooking the harbour in Looe, Cornwall which I think is the best time to vist Looe when a variety of little shops are open in the cobbled streets and wonderful smells emerge from local fish restaurants.
