Chaos in the Meadow
Description:
Chaos in the Meadow is a joyful semi abstract oil painting illustrating the sheer chaos of nature that you find in a flower meadow in summer. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The painting is semi abstract in style and is extremely colourful. Many different types of flower and grasses are hinted at and all of them are trying to get attention which causes a beautiful chaos. This painting was made after a walk on the Sussex South Downs and I love how this one tiny patch of wildflower meadow showed me so much life and enthusiasm. I have used layers and glazes of colours to give this painting an iridescent glow and its colours change throughout the day because of this - almost like stained glass. Behind the flowers you can just about see some of the fields below the hills looking towards Lewes. It is dedicated to all those walkers, cyclists and environmentalists that I meet on the downs who are helping to keep this area beautiful and its nature thriving. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and no frame needed. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist

A Triumphant Return of Swallows
Description:
A Triumphant Return of Swallows is a large wide seascape oil painting of swallows returning to England from across the sea. It is 60x30x1.5 inches. The painting shows clouds grouped in the middle of the painting with the sun behind them with just a few beams shining out from it. A calm and serene sea shows a single wave rolling onto the shore and the beach in the foreground hints as the pull of the sea back and forth across wet sand The colours are reflected in the colours of the five swallows who are triumphantly arriving across the land from the sea to roost. It is a long journey for them from Africa to England. The drama playing out is made more effective by the edges of the sea and sky being blurred so that energy catapults out from the centre of the canvas. This more than just a seascape painting. It is a painting about the strength and beauty of nature and how the instinct to survive makes incredible things happen. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist

Stag Materializing
Description:
Stag Materializing
Stag Materializing is an oil painting of a red deer stag painted in a semi abstract style and in vibrant rainbow colours. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The painting is multilayered and multicoloured but the predominate colours are purples and oranges. The face and antlers of the stag are painted in a portrait style but the body becomes more and more transparent as it recedes into the strange space of the background. To the right is the hint of a pine tree. The painting was made as I sometimes really just want to paint a beautiful animal. Be advised that there is a texture to the painting as another painting is underneath it (also of a stag but smaller) some of this can be detected by touching it but it does not affect the majesty of the painting. Painted on 3D canvas, edges white, no frame needed, ready to hang, comes with certificate of authenticity by the artist.

Spirited Away
Description:
Spirited Away is a semi-abstract explosion of a landscape showing daisies in a summer meadow. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The daisies are seen in a meadow with trees behind them and a stag can be seen watching in the distance. He is ready to spirit away anyone who wants to follow him (a reference to the fact that deer are often seen as spiritual guides or messengers in more than one culture). There is a suggestion of a path that leads up to the trees. The colours are white, lilac, grey, yellows, orange and soft pinks. The landscape is bursting out from the centre of the painting in a joyous whoop of happy summer celebration as I tried to show the exuberance of summer and the way that nature splurges on the season. Painted on Deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed. Comes with certificate of authenticity.

Midsummer Jubilance
Description:
Midsummer Jubilance is a big joyful oil painting of poppies in a summer meadow under a tree. It is semi-abstract and slightly art nouveau in style. 40x40x1.5 inches. The intention of this painting was to show the way that nature competes, especially in summer, to get the attention of what it needs. In the case of poppies, it needs bees and other poppies, sunlight, water and possibly many other things. I love how in spring and summer this desire to be seen reaches a peak and have tried to show the sheer jubilance of a simple clump of summer poppies. The tree behind has its branches spread wide and reaching outwards which adds to the energy of the landscape. The location that sparked the idea for this painting was on some hills in Sussex where I sat under a tree last summer and simply enjoyed watching the flowers, smelling the scent of them and hearing the buzz of insects. It is a simple painting with a simple idea and is dedicated to everyone else who loves nature and seeks to keep it safe and thriving. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and with certificate of authenticity from the artist.

Follow the Dream
Description:
A golden, vibrantly coloured panoramic oil painting of the path through an ancient woodland in autumn. 40x16x1.5 inches. The painting technique is blurred and impasto and has a golden glow to it that changes throughout the day depending on the light. This painting almost vibrates with the promise of good things around the next bend. The inspiration was lots of woodland walks taken in autumn in the East Sussex area where the paths through the trees are often well worn and very old. Many were droversâ paths used for herding animals and the echoes of the past are very strong in some of them. I tried to capture the feeling of anticipation and hope of revelation that I often get when around trees and ancient forests. The title refers to the idea that it is a good idea to dream and that you may find what you are looking for around the next bend⦠Dedicated to nature conservationists everywhere. Painted on 3D canvas. Edges painted dark purple, no frame needed.

Somewhere in an Autumn Clearing
Description:
This oil painting is 40x40x1.5 inches and shows a glowing autumn landscape with two swallows playing in a clearing. It is semi abstract in style and painted using techniques that allow the viewer a glimpse of a little magical universe. The energy and the drama of an autumn clearing and trees is shown in the flow lines and blurred edges and other whimsical flourishes. The colours range through purple, blue, magenta, orange and golden yellow. The two swallows are swooping and diving in a clearing beyond a tree on the left and a patch of golden green meadow and more trees beyond. The sun is shining and the swallows are having a last meal before they fly south from England for the winter. The painting was inspired by the Wadhurst area of Sussex which has many rolling meadows and crevices and patches of woodland and streams where magical things take place if you just take care to look⦠(which I do!) Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang and no frame needed.
