New Cotswolds Paintings
I have been working on a new project in the Cotswolds recently. I grew up in Evesham which sits just to the north of the hills. The skyline around the town is dominated by these hills. I spent a lot of time through childhood running down Fish hill and having family picnics. In my teens I trekked around and camped in the fields on Bredon Hill with friends. These are some of the first works that I have made in the project, I will be sharing more in the future. Please contact me

Cranford Opticians Painting Commission
A short series photos capturing me at work on a commissioned painting for the reception at Cranford Opticians in London. Gradually I build up an under painting. I work from sketches and from memory. On a chilly day by the river Thames near Marlow, I took the painting out to continue building up layers of oil paint. http://cranfordopticians.co.uk/ #pleinair #OilPainting #Opticians #thames #River

Painting Diary – February 2012
Welcome to my February blog, The sun is a red disc climbing the trees. Deer. Bitterly cold breeze. Snow underfoot, fox paw prints. Below are a couple of quick 1 min sketches. I make a lot of these small studies throughout a days painting, I find that they help me warm up. #watercolor #watercolour #pleinair #painting #winter
