New Beginnings
Description:
New Beginnings is an original oil painting in an ethereal semi-abstract style of a roebuck deer in a woodland glade. It is 36x36x1.5inches. The painting is vibrant and multi-coloured and hints at trees and leaves and dappled light in a spring forest. The roebuck is only half formed and it watching the viewer haughtily as roe deer tend to. Three shapes towards the centre of the canvas form tenuous portals or openings that could lead elsewhere. This painting was inspired by that exact idea. Often, especially in the ancient woodland copses of Sussex, I feel I could turn a corner and be in a whole new world. I like the idea â especially when I find a deer watching me (which is quite often in southern England). Anyone who walks in woodland will know the thrill of looking out from the trees to a clearing or a path beyond and that is the wonder of woodland and possibly one of the reasons so many fairy stories and folklore are founded in forests. Painted on deep edge canvas, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity.

The Eldritch Hart
Description:
The Eldritch Hart is a large original oil painting of a frosty January morning in England with a lone deer hart watching from the shadows of the path. It is a 48x36x1.5 inches oil on canvas. It is semi-abstract and unique in style and seems to shimmer between reality and abstract. The painting was inspired by a walk I took in the Lewes, South Downs area of England in January 2025. The frost made the colours muted yellows, purples, blues and browns. The day felt magical and full of the promise of spring to come. Nature held in suspension and only the birds were active (they start to sing again in January as soon as the days start to get longer). I did see deer on this walk and they never fail to make me happy. I have tried to not only capture the colours and temperature and details of this landscape, such as the low sun through the trees and the bare trees and frosty fields, but also the energy and feeling of it. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The Wild Wild Wood
Description:
The Wild Wild Wood is a semi abstract, art nouveau style painting of an autumn wood and a deer buck. It is 40x40 inches. The painting shows the view through trees on a path in a wood. There are a myriad of vibrant autumn colours and the patterns and curves created by the tree branches are quite art-nouveau in effect. There is a fallow deer buck emerging from branches and the hint of a path and other trees and a clearing beyond. I have tried to express the energy and colour explosion of a woodland by using just enough realism to show what the idea is. And the idea is how much there is to look at in a wood and how this can be expressed without painting every leaf and twig! The painting was inspired by many walks in ancient woodland and the thrill I get whenever I spot deer. Even though it is common to spot them, I still love these creatures and feel they are the real owners of trees and forests and should be respected. There is more story to this painting but viewers are free to make their own up. Painted on orange edged canvas, no frame needed, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist

Forest Sentinel
Description:
Forest Sentinel is an original oil painting of a red deer stag in a glowing orange forest clearing. It is 30x30x1.5 inches. The painting is highly textured and was painted using thick impasto paint wet into wet style which gives it a rich and fluid feeling. The deer stands to the right with a clearing behind him. The predominant colours are red, purple, orange and yellow. The stag is in shadow so you can barely see his features as he is contrasted against the light. The name refers to the fact that of all forest creatures, the deer are the most likely ones to be sentinels or watchers and deer do have a spooky ability to appear and disappear very fast which adds to their mystique. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges dark red purple, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity for the artist

Under Sea Rebel
Description:
Under Sea Rebel is a large blue and turquoise underwater seascape painting of a queen angel fish in a pristine Caribbean Sea. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The fish swims along intent on her goal and above her you can see the swirling surface of the rippling waves. Below her are the patterns of light that reflect from their motion across a sandy seabed. Behind the fish is the darker blue of deeper water in the distance. This painting was inspired by a recent Aruba holiday where I often saw this actual fish swimming around a particular jetty. I like the idea of the freedom she had if she could only continue to escape the tourists and fishermen. This is another in a series of underwater paintings inspired by the sheer beauty of a blue sea and the fish that live in it. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist.

Summer Fading
Description:
Summer Fading is a golden green abstract landscape with a white egret beside a small river with pink wildflowers. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. A white egret can be seen on the left rising out of the hidden river she was fishing in. Behind her are pink riverside flowers and beyond those you can see the glow of a golden field and shimmering trees. In the foreground you can see abstracted lines of an emerald green field. This is an actual moment of time I painted recently where I came across a startled egret by a small river. You canât see the river because of the angle but you can see the bird stretching her wings to fly out of it. The background is a golden green which helps to give this sultry abstract landscape an end of the summer type feeling â hence the title. I like to capture moments of time in natureâs cycles and this is a tiny snapshot of a little drama I enjoyed. Dedicated to all the farmers and conservationists who plant wild flowers at the edges of their fields and beside rivers. Painted on deep edge canvas, golden green edges, ready to hang and no frame needed. Comes with certificate of authenticity.

I love their cute fingers and thumbs!

it's not too much of a stretch
cos dumb they ain't!

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.

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.
