Oil on board, 8×8″ This was a lovely frosty morning and a typical on location exercise. Dad wasn’t with me for most of it, as he stood out in the sunshine taking photo’s while I froze to death in the frosty shadows!!

Oil on board, 6.5×10″ I painted this during the week leading up to Christmas. It was a beautiful morning and a perfect subject, I like the abstract shapes on the right.

Oil on board, 7×10″ I painted this on a perfect summer’s morning. I think the most rewarding paintings are often the simple understated ones. I can’t wait for this summer, to be able to paint similar scenes.
Oil on board, 7×10″ I painted this just after Christmas with Jethro Tull’s song in my head ‘Ring Out Those Solstice Bells’! So fond memories are attached to this painting!
Oil on board, 7×10″ It was a challenge to work with the changing light to capture the rich warm tones of the barn roof, I wanted to get blocks of colour down to finish off in the studio.
Oil on board, 14×10″ This was just the most magnificent, stunning barn interior, never had I enjoyed a painting experience more. It’s not often you get to appreciate the interior of a barn untouched by developers.
Oil on board, 16×12″ Will’s pose was just perfect, completely at ease, leaning on his tractor!
Oil on board, 18×14″ Will has such a warm and friendly personality and a great characterful face I hope that comes across in this piece.
Oil on board, 14×10″ What really attracted me to paint this was the light reflected off the trailer and barn, illuminating the skin tones on the arms and face.
