Playing with colour

 

'Dancing sky' - 60cm x 60cm

‘Dancing sky’ – 60cm x 60cm – oil on canvas – £770

When I’m painting the sky, it’s moving all the time, changing light, changing colour, changing form. Here, I’m just trying to capture that energy.

 

'Sea pink' - 30cm x 30cm

‘Sea pink’ – 30cm x 30cm oil on canvas – £295

I had great fun with this, it came from a sketch done whilst walking along the Cornish coast. Working from that sketch when I got home liberated the painting from having to ‘be’ the right colour.

 

'Sea green' - 30cm x 60cm

Sea green – 30cm x 60cm – oil on canvas – £550 – SOLD from The Harbour Gallery, Portscatho, Cornwall

The view from Falmouth towards St. Antony’s head lighthouse. Playing with colour.

Solo show at Fowey River Gallery

Just about to deliver 34 paintings to Fowey River Gallery for my solo exhibition showing from 8th April – 23rd April 2017.

It’s been really fantastic making a large body of work, translating thoughts of and visions of Cornwall and sailing adventures beyond.

 

Leaving Harbour - 60cm x 60cm

Leaving harbour – 60cm x 60cm oil on canvas – £765

Anchorage, Borgvig Glacier - 70cm x100cm

Anchorage, Borgvig Glacier, Greenland – oil on canvas – £1250

In the August of 2016 my partner and I were lucky enough to crew on the Aegle on a sailing trip in Greenland. An amazing, vast, beautiful, wonderful and vulnerable landscape, and an unforgettable adventure.

On the beach

 

Couple - (Rosevine) - 30cm x 30cm

‘Couple’ – Rosevine – 30cm x 30cm – oil on canvas

I love time on the beach in Cornwall, Spring, summer, winter – sunny day or stormy, it’s always a place to inspire.

The sand tells stories of where people have walked, where children have played, and dogs have swam. These two paintings are from sketches made on the Roseland, at the beautifully named beach of Rosevine. They remind me of how I spent a lovely stolen couple of hours.
