    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
