Artwork
"Colour does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it."
Pierre Bonnard
"I go through phases of painting for myself, family and friends. I find the process of layering paint and seeing where it takes me very therapeutic.
I do commissions occasionally, yet prefer to produce my own artwork which is for sale when available. Please get in touch if anything interests you.
"She backed a Winner"
Originally called "The Grey Mare", this depicts a racehorse at Les Landes. My husband wanted the canvas, so I changed the name accordingly.
"Telling Tails" - 2016
A commission of a friend's 2 dogs, the elder being irked by the new arrival to the family.
"L'Ombre"
"L',Ombre", shows a couple on a beach at the hottest time of the day, creating a mirage down to the sea. The shadows are short and then heat intense
"Closer to Heaven"
For a friend who cycled around Scotland, (then admitted at times he felt closer to hell)..
"Fog"
A gift for a bike loving client's new bedroom, using gears and breaks in the painting process.
"Bike"
A Japanese interpretation, again using gears as print blocks.
"Through the Willows"
Inspired by the reflections in a riverside garden with a Japanese arched bridge.
"The Dog Walkers"
A beach setting at dusk using textures and colour to reflect light and a moody sky.
"Row Past"
Commission for an anniversary present depicting the client's wife in a Thames rowing race.
HMS Sickbay
Painted for my son after a hospital visit.
A play on words and textures.
"Upthink"
"Downpour"
The idea here is that seasons and time move on irrespective of what goes on in one's life. (A bit profound, but I was experimenting with the infinity lines).
Me ... in that happy place when my art is appreciated.
