Upper Slaughter Framed

This is the second painting I have done of upper slaughter this one is acrylic on canvas sheet and framed behind glass this really is a beautiful place

Black and White Woods

This black and white painting is in gesso on ply and was done in a workshop by Reg Marsh and was so popular that Reg actually repeated the workshop in the open air outside the 1215 gallery in the summer 2007 where the public were able to watch and some members who missed the first workshop were able to join in

Autumn

I painted this watercolour after seeing a picture in the paper proclaiming Autumn in the UK is every bit as good as the fall in the USA again the reflections are what captured me I hope I have captured them

Reflections

This watercolour was inspired by a picture I saw in a magazine and I tried to capture the reflections of the trees in the water I find it much harder to do this in watercolour than in acrylic

Lower Slaughter

This is another small acrylic on canvas of Lower Slaughter in the Cotswold's this painting now hangs with two others in my friends house.

Burton on the Water

This small acrylic painting done on canvas is of Burton on The Water in the Cotswold's where we spent a holiday I took lots of photos and have done several paintings of the area

Upper Slaughter

This is a small acrylic on canvas of Upper Slaughter in the Cotswolds taken from a picture I took while on holiday and now hangs in a friends house.

Lower Slaughter Mill

This small acrylic on canvas is yet another painting taken from a photo and hangs in my friends house together with 2 other paintings I did of the Cotswold's

Children on the shore

This Acrylic on canvas painted list year reminds me of my grandchildren

Tiger

This tiger was done in pastelpencils after doing one or two of Colin Bradley's workshops and was the first freehand I did using his methods and materials and I was quite pleased with the result

The Garden Path

This large acrylic on canvas I sold last year at an exhibition the buyer also bought the Estuary painting the previous year together with pictures by one of our more experienced artists so I felt privileged to be selling alongside someone well established artists.

Delphiniums

This Watercolour of Delphiniums I did after seeing a painting done by another member of RAS I asked if she minded if I copied it because I wanted to try to capture the delicate nature her picture displayed. I don't know that I managed to capture it, but I donated this painting to a Raffle held in aid of the McMillan Nurses, so I hope the winner is now enjoying it

Dartmede

This is an Acrylic on canvas painting of a river near Dartmede that my daughter and her family visited on holiday, my son in law photographed the scene which my grandson calls Treasure Island

Dusk

This is an Acrylic on canvas 20"x8" much like the Dawn picture in fact they could be a pair, this was also inspired by a calendar I just like working on this size canvas

Dawn

This is an Acrylic painting on Canvas inspired by a picture I saw on a Calendar I just loved the overall colour and simple nature of the picture sometime less is more its quite small 20" X 8" without a frame which I think would detract from the painting

Estuary 1

This painting was the first painting I ever sold about two years ago its acrylic on canvas and I have since done another two but this I feel was the best it was inspired by a picture I saw in a newspaper.

Painting fun

Painting with the children

RUNNYMEDE ART SOCIETY

A group of artists from RAS visited Springtime Nursery and spent some time with the 2 to 5 year old children painting cut out portraits of themselves which will be placed on a backdrop of the nursery setting. The children buzzed with excitement and the artists enjoyed their enthusiasm. Look out for further pictures

Bottles

This Acrylic on Canvas of bottles was inspired by a picture I saw in the Argos catalogue last Christmas I just loved the way the light from the candles reflected on the bottles and just had to try to capture it.

Yorkshire Rocks

This little watercolour I worked on during our Wednesday art class and completed at home I think I caught the reflections quite well

Elephant

This Acrylic on canvas was inspired by a photograph I saw in someones holiday pictures but the elephant wasn't quite so aggressive, that's my interpretation.

Cat

This Pastel portrait of a cat is a Colin Bradley workshop and I enjoyed using his methods which produce pleasing results every time and help familiarise you with the use of pastel pencils I have done several of these for family and friends

Diss Courtyard

This Acrylic painting of a courtyard in Diss was painted from a picture I took on a very cold wet Sunday when all the shops were closed. I tried to make it a little less grey than it was and the red brickwork helped and was a real challenge

The Dancer

This Acrylic is painted on ply and is quite large I enjoyed painting on wood and depicts the perfect dancer

Crosses

This oil painting is done in water soluble oils under the instruction of my tutor Reg ?I love the way the rocks came out although Reg said it would take more than a hammer to stake the crosses

Chinese Lanterns

This Acrylic on canvas I sold at 1215 Gallery in 2007 I repeated the picture so that I could exhibit it in RAS exhibition and enjoyed working on the light and dark areas of the pots again I love this shape canvas
