Giraffe

Oil on canvas 30x40cm. This was a lot of fun. Goats and giraffe have similar looks and for a while this painting could have gone either way :-)

Available at €120 + postage.

Lavender fields

Oil on Canvas. Lavender fields - Tuscany.
How inviting.

The Medina - Marrakech

This is my latest oil on canvas. I like the way the light shines between the buildings. This was what we experienced when visiting the Medina in Marrakech, sometimes we could not see the light of day and then suddenly the light would shine through an alley in the distance.

SOLD.

The card players

Pastel. This is an exercise done at the academy in pastel. It was my first attempt at using pastel and realise that I have a long road ahead :-). But I am happy with this attempt.

SOLD.

Cleansing of hands

Oil on canvas. African theme focusing on water, that so many people take for granted while others have to walk miles to fetch and carry home in containers. I am happy with the way i have captured the light in this work. I was surprised how difficult it was to paint "water".

Legs

Charcoal sketch of legs. Completed in an afternoon as an exercise.

Pondering Seagull

Oil on canvas. Another seagull with a mission, pondering his next round of democratic shopping :-)

Available at €120 + postage.

Seagull

Oil on canvas.

Yet another seagull :-)

SOLD

House on fire

Oil on canvas. Leaning more towards abstract work.

Maybe I will attempt something abstract in the near future, but for the moment i am happy to have something recognisable in my work rather than going totally abstract.

Seagull in flight

Oil on canvas. My first completed seagull painting :-) Still my favourite. It has a new home now.

SOLD

Drawing of plaster mould

This is a pencil drawing of a plaster mould which took some time. Again using many different tones it was possible to create volume.

This exercise was all about drawing what you see rather than what you know.

Seagulls at play

Oil on canvas. This is one of a few seagull paintings which i have completed.

SOLD

Wash basin in oils

A wash basin inspired by the swine flu. This oil on canvas was a lot of fun and in fact, started me off on doing some abstract works.

African village

Oil on canvas. An african village!

55x40cm.

Available at €220 + postage

Aquarelle - Still life

Aqaurelle needs patience and i need to work on that. This still life worked for me but generally I dont enjoy working with water colours. I probably need to embrace the technique again with some enthusiasm and who knows what could result from that.

Morrocan kettles

Oil on canvas.

This was inspired by a vacation in Marrakech.

African girl

This is one of my african themed oil paintings.
It was one of my first in this range.

Figure drawing - The Foot

I completed this pencil drawing in a morning. I used many construction guide lines to enable me to create a sense of volume and to achieve perspective. Working in pencil makes it possible to use many tonal values which in turn brings the work to life.

Sketching

This was a five minute warm up, charcoal sketch, during a life drawing exercise.
