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

The Story Unfolding
Description:
The Story Unfolding is a large pink, orange and rainbow coloured semi-abstract painting of an autumn landscape deer on a path to another universe. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The back ground of the painting is bright orange and magenta and towards the centre you see a fallow deer buck and a doe. They look as if they are deciding on something. Behind them are three other female deer running along a path towards a bend with trees either side of them. There is an urgency to them as if they know something we donât. The edges of the landscape surrounding the deer are quite colourful and abstract and give the appearance that the landscape is somehow unravelling. The idea was to literally show a universe coming into creation or perhaps morphing into something else. It is painted on deep edge canvas, edges orange/magenta, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity.

The Spell Caster
Description:
The Spell Caster is a warm, colourful autumn woodland path semi-abstract painting with barn owl. It is 30x30x1.5 inches. The painting is mostly orange and purple and though is clearly of woodland, it is built up with many transparent layers of rainbow colours and vertical marks and drips that give the painting the idea of it flickering in and out of a different reality. I find woodland magical and I find owls magical and I love autumn so this is the combination of those things. It was mostly inspired by some of areas of woodland around the Ashdown Forest in Sussex where you can go quite suddenly from a sunlight heathland into dark and sinister patches of dark forest. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang, not frame needed and comes with a certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist.

Natures Cathedral, an autumn landscape
Description:
Natures Cathedral is a very large golden oil painting of an autumn forest clearing. It is 60x36x1.5 inches. The painting shows the view into a clearing along an autumn path with a semi-transparent deer stag just visible on the left. The style is semi abstract and contains the full range of vibrant autumn colours but with a golden hue across them. There is also the hint of beams of light shining thought the trees at many different angles and that helps create a feeling of energy and something otherworldly. The painting was inspired by various woodland walks taken in the Sussex area and the odd glimpse of deer in them. I am sometimes struck by how woodland paths are almost spiritual in the feeling they give off â hence the name. Forests are natureâs cathedrals. You can often feel you are being observed in forests and I like the how different forests evoke different emotions. Some are welcoming, some are just barely tolerating your interruption and some are actually quite sinister. This painting is a big welcoming glowing forest. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, 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.

In His Element
Description:
In His Element is a vibrant semi abstract oil painting of a peacock blending into in a magical bluebell wood. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The peacock is looking to his right under the green spring woodland trees. His tail is spread out around him and is sinking into the lush carpet of bluebells. His colours match the scene beautifully which is why he is in his element. The painting style is semi abstract, slightly art nouveau and is depicted in an exuberant, loose and blurry way so that it seems to shimmer. The vertical layers and lines are like a curtain that present different aspects of the same scene simultaneously. The concept of the painting was simply the idea of seeing a peacock in a bluebell wood. I would like to see it! Peacocks, for me, represent something exotic and gorgeous and strange and bluebells are equally exotic and gorgeous and strange. Painted on 3D canvas, edges white, ready to hang, 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!)

Autumn Magic
Description:
Autumn Magic is a large semi abstract autumn inspired oil painting which shows a glowing path through vibrantly coloured autumn trees. It has a magical and enticing feeling to it. It is 60x36x2 inches. The painting was made after many walks I took in and around Sussex during November 2023. The sun is low at this time of year and the beams of light shine through at an angle onto the greens, golds, magentas and oranges of the leaves casting everything around with a magical sheen. The feeling of the end of the path is of a revelation about to made and I hope I captured the sense of anticipation about what might be around the next bend in the path⦠(feel free to add what you think should be there).

The Final Gift of Summer
Description:
The Final Gift of Summer is a beautifully mellow river bank painting with swallows and a tangle of wild flowers. It is a 30x30x1.5 inches. The style is semi abstract and composed of many overlapping transparent layers in full vibrant rainbow colours. To the left are the deep greens, blues, purples and turquoise of trees in shadow and behind them you can see the glittering sun in the bend of the river. To the right is a view across a mass of summer flowers and the hint of fields and trees and hills in the background with a single dwelling. Two swallows are dancing around on the left gathering insects ready for their long flight south. This painting was inspired by a walk one August day on the South Downs near the river Arun. The feeling was a little sad as I always miss the swallows when they leave. I tried to capture the gorgeous melancholy of the end of summer and there is a definite mood to this painting that hints of the end of something and the beginning of something new⦠Dedicated to all those people working to keep Sussex and its wildlife safe and beautiful. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed.
