Oil on canvas | 12 x 12 inches I don’t think I paint as many skies as I used to, so when I do paint a nice looking sky I put a lot of effort into it, because there is nothing better than a Norfolk sky.   

Oil on canvas | 14 x 11 inches I put a lot of effort into this painting. The high level of detail in John was balanced by the quite impressionistic bales and buildings.   

Oil on board | 16 x 20 inches I spent a few great days in late June, photographing, helping (a bit) and sketching the Puncher brothers with the hay harvest. I would cycle over at about 9:30 am as the sun warmed the cloudless, blue skies. I would find Will and John in the meadow behind

Oil on canvas | 14 x 11 inches I was quite into the work of Zorn for a time, so that opened my eyes to a range of subjects I wouldn’t really have seen with a view to paint. This painting depicts the kitchen in our house in Cornwall, though now the wood surrounding of

Oil on board | 18 x 14 inches The colours worked really well together and the absence of cerulean blue helped the painting not to be too pretty or twee.  

Oil on board | 16 x 20 inches A better subject and better light would be hard to find. A bonfire’s smoke drifted across the road and created this beautiful atmosphere. The thick impasto worked well I think, though it took an age to dry before I could continue working on it!
