My two latest paintings, framed and on the studio wall

Newcomen Road - oils on cradled panel, 60cm sq. An enjoyable challenge to try and capture the effect of the light raking across the face of this old house on a hill in Dartmouth.

Work in progress - oils on panel, 25cm sq. Using an old favourite location as the basis for a new idea, inspired by the recent exhibition of Maurice Wade paintings in Stoke. Also looking at architectural models and their simplification / abstract qualities. Might work, might not… worth a try.

On the easel..

Finished just before Christmas, December Diagonal - oils on cradled panel, 50cm sq. Really pleased how this one turned out. Planning to submit for various open exhibitions this year 🤞

A detail of current work in progress. I’m experimenting with new ways to remove the narrative and focus on the abstract qualities. Enjoying this one hugely at the moment..

Hello! By way of introduction on BlueSky.. I’m a self taught artist who used to be an architect. I’m learning as I go and post my work as it develops for anyone interested to see a little ‘behind the scenes’. Feel free to engage with me here - I’m hoping this will be a great place to learn more!
