Painting in support of Charity

I've just completed this miniature watercolour painting which will be one of my entries in a forthcoming exhibition. Life has been busy recently and I hope to get some more painting done in the coming months.



I also have a painting that is being auctioned in support of "Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital" along with others from notable UK artists. You can see the works and place a bid in support of this worthwhile Charity here.

Latest acrylic seascape

I have just finished this seascape and will probably exhibit it in August at my main Summer Exhibition.

An Original Watercolour Seascape

This original watercolour painting was sold recently at an exhibition, with the 100th Anniversary of the art society's Annual Exhibition this summer I need to get some work completed.

The Hot New Movie

Apart from my painting I also take a fair few number of photographs, principally as reference material for my artwork, which can be seen on my website I also sell some of these photographs on Ebid I have created a short video of a selection of photographs on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iStRMtzRmE0

Another Train painting

This, my latest painting, is of a Great Western Railway pannier tank locomotive running alongside the River Dart in Devon. Taken from a photograph I took of the scene about twenty years ago. Took rather longer than usual as I had an enforced break after surgery on my hand.

I have sold two of my paintings from the Summer Exhibition, one of which was the train painting a couple of entries before this. Have been busy this week working on a commission, a totally new subject for me so quite a challenge. When I emailed the image to the client she said it made her cry, so it sounds like I've managed to capture the character of her much loved pet.

Another Miniature Painting

Attending a local Craft Show has kept me busy this week and one of my Limited Edition prints is now hanging on a new wall. You can see more of these low cost prints at Tazbar.com

I have also been painting some more miniatures ready for next months exhibition, this being one of the countryside series.

New Miniature Seascape

This is one of a series of four miniature seascapes I'm painting ready to show in an art exhibition later next month.

Another sale

The painting of Aysgarth Falls was delivered to it's new home on Saturday with the aid of a bargain SatNav system that I won on auction on Tazbar sounds a bit like my missus though with her comments "You are exceeding the Speed Limit". I have had another sale on Tazbar with this print of an ACEO Moonlight Anchorage

Watercolour Commission

I recently completed this commissioned painting of the Nubble Lighthouse for a couple who already own three of my paintings. They visited this area whilst on holiday in the USA and wanted a momento. I was working from photographs, unfortunately their budget didn't quite cover an on site visit.

Latest commission by Ken Gillam

This is a commssioned painting for a cycling enthusiast. Fausto Coppi was a renowned competitor in the Tour de France in the 1950's and this depicts him way ahead of the competition in the mountains. He sadly died aged only 40 after catching malaria. Many consider him to be the greatest cyclist of all time.
