This was my first lockdown painting which was created in a very confined space, but was well worth the effort in recreating the calculating look from this elegant and powerful animal. Interpreted from a wonderful photo, this exposes her beautiful, detailed markings as she chills on the rocks in the shade from the sun. Painted in oils on boxed canvas so no need to frame.

A classic nude study in the studio. Painted on a standard stretched canvas it is set in a contemporary dark tray frame measuring 68 cm x 48 cm x 35 mm overall. This work is also available as part of a pair of paintings with a narrative - an artist at work in his studio and this, his finished work. The pair are available for a reduced price when buying the two.

This is an evocative piece showing two young ladies on tour in their iconic Citroen 2CV with the even more iconic Mont St Michel as a backdrop. They have broken their journey and while one of the friends enjoys the sunshine the other contemplates who knows what? This piece is set in a contemporary tray frame.

Oil on canvas board framed behind glass in 50mm white contemporary frame.

the scene is a contemporary expressionist piece meant to evoke raw human emotion and alluring physical forms through dramatic contrast
