The Invitation
Description:
The Invitation is a large seascape oil painting of a view from the beach across the waves to the sun and sky and seagulls beyond. It is 36x60x1.5 inches. The painting is ethereal, semi-abstract and a little art-nouveau in style and the light and energy of the scene is captured in thick expressive brush strokes. Gentle waves roll over the sand captured in impasto paint in muted whites, creams, yellows and purples. The sun can be seen from behind clouds and three beams of light form a triangle on the sea. Three seagulls fly between them. I had fun with the composition of this seascape and am very pleased with the result. It aims to capture the energy and transience of sunlight, sea and sky plus a little bit of mystery as it seems to hint at something not quite articulated. It was inspired by watching Florida skies where the sunsets and sunrises are always entertaining. The three seagulls are flying away which helps to add to the invitation to go beyond⦠Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white, ready to hang and no frame needed. Comes with certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.

Once Upon a Time
Description:
Once Upon a Time is a large oil painting of a colourful woodland path watched over by a small deer where strange things are about to happen. It is 48x48x1.5 inches. The painting shows an autumnal woodland path leading to a light filled clearing. The path is enticing and will lead you to the thing you most want to see there. To the left is a small female deer. Deer are often seen as spiritual harbingers or guides. The painting style is semi-abstract art nouveau and was simply inspired by the thrill I personally get when I walk from an ancient English wood into a light filled clearing. It is often magical and I often feel as if a revelation is about to happen. I am not sure of the basis of that feeling but I am not along in finding Nature quite magical and woodland walking quite therapeutic! Painting on deep edge canvas, edges light green, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist.

The Owls Symphony
Description:
The Owls Symphony is a semi-abstract, art nouveau, magical realism style oil painting of a white owl with a flower meadow behind her. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The Owl is a white barn owl and she glides over the meadow in that mysterious way that owls do. There are sinuous lines of white energy flowing out from her which echo the movements she is making with her silent wings. She is a beautiful predator. The background is blurred and hints at a summer meadow with wildflowers and trees at the edge of the field. The owl is painted in thick paint to further emphasize the contrast between her and the background. She appears to float on the canvas in an act of classic owl gracefulness. This painting is a tribute to wildlife and birds everywhere â they never cease to make me happy when I come across them on one of my walks. Painted on deep edge canvas, edges white. No frame is needed and it is ready to hang. Comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist

The Haven
Description:
The Haven is large glowing green landscape painting of a forest path leading to a farm and its buildings in the distance. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The farm is intentionally small in the distance and the painting is big which heightens the feeling of a distance and space and the anticipation of arrival. The style is semi-abstract with the sinuous curves of art nouveau and reflects the vibrant colours of summer turning into autumn in English countryside. There are a myriad of rainbow colours in the painting, despite the overall appearance of it being green. These colours reflect differently in different light â just like a real woodland walk does. The impression is of sunlight through trees which range from brilliant white and yellow highlights though to the greens, blues and purples of the shadows of the leaves and the trees. The inspiration for this painting is a real place near Old Heathfield in Sussex where there is a farm I really really wish was mine! Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist

Natures Statement
Description:
Natures Statement is an exuberant summer flower meadow landscape that aims to capture the sheer enthusiasm and abundance of a wildflower meadow in July. It is 36x30x1.5inches. The painting captures an actual site on the South Downs near Graffham and Heyshott across a field through various summer flowers in pinks, orange, yellow and faded greens and cream. The dark trees in the background help to emphasize the flowers and there is a slight hump behind the central clump of flowers which is an ancient tumulus (burial mound) of the late Neolithic period. This particular spot is one I visit often as it has an atmosphere to that is both calm but quite magical. I can easily imagine fairies and ancient souls dancing there when no one is around. I am an artist who tends to reflect the seasons in my landscapes and this is another of a series of wildflower meadow paintings made in the summer of 2024. Dedicated all those people who are working to restore and protect our beautiful British landscapes, nature, animals, birds, trees, flowers and fauna. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed, Comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts 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.

Nature Weaves a Spell
Description:
Nature Weaves a Spell is a very large oil on canvas painting in abstract vs realism style of kingfishers and by a river. It is 71x47x2 inches (181x120x5cms). Two kingfishers can be seen above the river which flows towards us from the left out of a lake. The female kingfisher is hovering and looks towards the male who is about to dive into the water. In the distance you can see hills and trees whilst in the foreground are the birds and an abundance of wildflowers on each side of the river. They hint at being the pink Himalayan Balsom plants you often see along English rivers and streams. Multiple layers of transparent rainbow paint have been used to reflect a myriad of glowing vibrant colours. The golden yellow layer looks as if it is ripping apart to reveal the landscape behind it. The kingfishers are painted in fine detail but with the motion of the wings being slightly blurred to show the energy and motion as well as the physical details of their anatomy. The interplay of abstract and realism gives this painting a magical, ethereal and spell binding quality. This painting is where I want to be! It was inspired by the occasional sightings of real kingfishers who look like tiny river jewels to me and by plenty of river walks in the countryside during the summertime. Every part of this painting has something interesting occurring in it :-) The canvas is an extra strong gallery quality aluminium frame one. The edges are wide meaning framing not necessary and the edges are painted dark green. It is ready to hang and comes with a certificate of authenticity from the artist.

The Green Kings Glade
Description:
The Green Kings Glade is a green semi-abstract oil painting of a deer stag behind a green curtain that hints of a green forest glade. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. The deer stands in the centre whilst around him you see a sea of green and the hint if trees and branches. The deer is not always easy to see as the painting has texture and facets to it that can change with the light. At night it glows emerald green and in sunlight you see the stag and a clearing which gives it a magical fairy tale like feeling. The green king is a character who often appears in British folklore as does the symbol of a stag. Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, no frame needed, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist.

Journeys End
Description:
Journeys End is a very colourful original oil painting showing the light at the end of a vibrant autumn canal path. It is 36x30x1.5 inches. This magical landscape is semi abstract in style and catapults the viewer towards a turn in the path where the light is showing the exit of the dark tree tunnel by a river. The colours are rich bright autumn colours and the painting has a lot of impact due the edges being blurred which give it an energy and a promise that is quite unique. The inspiration for the painting was trying to show the feeling of having achieved a goal, the feeling of triumph and relief that you feel when a job has been done or when you have finally found the solution to a problem that has been on your mind for a very very long time. I hope it inspires others to keep going when things are tough. There is literally light at the end of the tunnel if you just keep going! Painted on deep edge canvas, edges painted to match the deep green, purple and blues of the edges. No frame needed, ready to hang and comes with certificate of authenticity from the artist.

Summer Riot
Description:
Summer Riot is a large square semi-abstract landscape painting of a hare in a wild summer meadow. It is 40x40x1.5 inches. The idea of this painting was to show the sheer enthusiasm with which nature expresses itself â even in the smallest corner of a summer field. It is literally exploding with life and energy. The flowers are fairly abstract but hint at buttercups and clover and a mad array of grasses and other wildflowers. The hare is hiding to the right of the centre of the summer explosion and she looks a little confused by it all. The edges are blurred and the paint thickness varies a lot in order to add to the slightly mad energy of it. It was painted after a walk I took recently near the South Downs where the farmland is simply beautiful and a corner of a meadow is endlessly entertaining (to me at least). I did see a hare in the distance but she did pose for more as this one does (I do love artistic license). Painted on deep edge canvas, white edges, ready to hang, no frame needed and comes with certificate of authenticity and gifts from the artist.
