Harcombe - 2011


Birthday present for a friend. This has been my first landscape in a very long time and I really enjoyed the challenge!

I have always tried to take whatever is occupying my life the most as my subject matter and given how much time I spend in this valley, I am currently feeling very motivated to explore this topic further...

Latest Commissions!



Two portraits of Shirehorse Kiz in watercolour. These were exciting portaits to do because they had to be from such an intimate perspective-the owner had a very unusual relationship with this difficult horse and wanted the portraits to reflect this. She and I are very pleased with the results!

Session 5 Life drawing


I was really trying to make the most of interesting perspectives this week to take advantage of the fact we did one pose for the whole session.

I actually finished for once, although it could have done with being darker!

Session 3 life drawing



This week the model used a flimsy scarf and this proved to be very challenging. It is very hard to show both the material and what you can see underneath.

The second painting was great fun, I really enjoyed the perspective of her knee!

New Year, new life drawing class!




This week was fantastic. The model was wonderful, he was very skilled at picking interesting poses and was made more fascinating by his bald head, hairy body and short stature. Fabulous!
