pearl clouds

this is a painting i made of a beach, somewhere in brighton i think. My grandfathers close friend Gordon took a photo of the scene that i worked from, the same man that i have previously done a portrait of.

an old walk

this is a painting of again dorset, an old walk that i used to take as a child with my family. In this painting i tried to capture a style that my grandad used to use as an artist, using bold, evocative colours rather than dull, even perhaps real, ones.

towards a sunset

This is quite a personal portrait of mine, and is my first practice in oils which i am now very fond of (compared to acrylics i prefer the consistancy, and general feel- however they are quite messy). The figure is my grandad, walking towards his sunset.

the golden field

this is another image from dorset, at my granddad's farm. it was done on the spot at the bottom of one of his fields.

Winter Watercolour

this is a painting that i had done about 9 months ago now of an image i took in dorset back when it was snowing.

pop art

Here's a bit of work from GCSE's- not really a fan of pop art actually but our first project was based on it. I think some of its by Andy Worhol or similar artists?

Dorset Steam fair

My grandad, whilst still a practicing artist, originally composed this painting. Its at the Dorset steam fair which is held yearly, and is of a workshop that the people there put on to show how hay bails are made- something like that anyway.

The difference between the paintings, mine and his, are that his was done in oil at about 30" x 24" and mine is a small oil pastel drawing of 7" by 5.
