I really like the colours of Autumn. Here's one of my paintings that captures the season; 'Boundary' (acrylic paint on panel). #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting #autumn

Here's one from a few years ago; 'Union', acrylic painting on panel. I love to see nature taking over the places we leave behind as well as the effects of time on abandoned buildings. The painting I am currently working on is very much in this vein. #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting

I've made a few adjustments to my painting, 'Heading Back' and it now feels finished (again). This is part of a series of work about journeys. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #woodland

My painting 'Distant Light' is currently on show as part of the Broadway Arts Festival. The exhibition runs until the 5th October at The Theatrebarn, Bretforton. broadwayartsfestival.com/2025-art-com... #landscapepainting #cotswolds #artexhibition

A small drawing featuring the path to Rogie Falls in Scotland. I started with a watercolour layer and then used pencil on top. I like mixing drawing and painting in a single piece of work. #watercolour #pencildrawing #mixedmediaart

One from a few years ago; 'Wardell's Garage' (acrylic paint on panel). I like painting buildings with a bit of character and with some history. This one is sold but I'm creating new works all the time and I accept commissions. #acrylicpainting #urbanlandscape #contemporaryart

I like to create pictures with a story, where there’s a bit of uncertainty or something unexpected. This one is called ‘Inside Out’. I’m working on a painting that has a similar feel to it now. #abandonedplaces #urbanlandscape #derelictbuildings

A small pencil drawing featuring an abandoned house I discovered when travelling in County Donegal. There were a few buildings like this dotted about the landscape. I'm quite pleased with this one and will be doing an alternative version using colour. #pencildrawing #abandoned #countydonegal

Another older piece of work found when moving into my new studio. This one is ‘Last Days’ (acrylic paint on panel). It features a row of houses that were by the Riverside Recreation Centre in Stafford, a place I used to visit a lot as a kid. #acrylicpainting #urbanlandscape #abandoned

'Universal', acrylic paint on panel. This piece was damaged in an exhibition a few years ago. Today I patched it up and added a few improvements in a few places. The factory no longer exists and it seems strange to see it gone. #acrylicpainting #urbanlandscape #landscapepainting

I'm looking into creating some more work featuring remote buildings for an exhibition later this year. Here's a drawing I made in that vein last year; 'Old Stables', ink on paper. #inkpen #derelictbuilding #abandonedplaces

One from a few years ago, 'Shelter', acrylic paint on panel. I'm planning on doing some more work on this theme soon. #acrylicpainting #derelictbuilding #abandonedplaces

'Heading Back', oil paint on canvas. This is the third piece based on a journey home last December, when the mist made the landscape look really atmospheric. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #forest

One from a few years ago; 'Fragments II', acrylic paint on panel. I like finding scenes where something looks a bit out of place. This large piece of concrete on the beach caught my eye and made for a good composition. #landscapepainting #acrylicpainting #contemporarypainting
