Pastel, 14.5×22″ This is the largest pastel I have completed for a while. Choosing to use pastel for this scene was ideal to capture the crisp, frosty light. I enjoyed the challenge of the size too.

Pastel, 8×5.5″ This painting was inspired by a painting by Lucy Kemp Welch. I like the old fashioned subject matter and subsequent mood of the painting, a subject that is timeless.

Pastel. 7.25×5.25″ I like the linear marks of Billie’s top in this piece, I think it creates a sense of movement in what could otherwise be a very rigid pose.

Pastel, 3×5″ This was a familiar view for me as we travelled home from school in the winter. Dad would often have to slow down in the car so I could photograph it during the changing seasons.

Pastel, 4.5×6.5″ The light effect across the distant field and the warm glow that catches the tree makes this subject extraordinary.

Pastel, 4.5×6.5″ I enjoy adding the splash of red from the poppies in the foreground.

Pastel, 4.5×6″ This is such a stunning subject. I like the way the cliff edge meanders into the distance.

Pastel 7×5″ Less is sometimes more. I enjoy working with pastels to a greater extent than I have before and I like the durability and flexibility they allow. I have enjoyed studying the human form in closer detail and executing more detailed works showing this.

Pastel, 5×10″ Pastel was an ideal choice of medium to capture the wet sand and breaking waves.

Pastel, 5×6.75″ I love the sky in this piece and the way it is reflected in the water, broken up by the breeze causing the blue ripples. This is one of my favourite pastels.
