I think the world is cockeyed at present so this is pretty normal!
For sale.
Only a little cockeyed!
Landscape in purple and green
A painting completed recently – for sale.
Left leaning town
After the recent elections in the UK this title is not actually meant to indicate political leanings but the general slant of many items in the picture!
Mini forest
An array of green scraps of texture and colour prompted this picture after I saw a news article about exciting tiny forests in urban areas. There is an interesting Ted talk on the subject online – a 100 years of growth in 10, in small areas. The idea came from Akira Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist.
For sale.
Landscape with allotments
Allotments come in all sorts of sizes and states of tidiness! There are ancient gardeners who can grow anything in tidy rows with no visible weeds, crazy plots where chickens grub up plants inside huge homemade wire cages, and the sadly neglected plots where, among the docks, nettles and couch grass, raspberries and blackberries struggle to see the light. (The currants have been gobbled up by pigeons and the lettuce by rabbits!)
A recent painting for sale.
Landscape with pigeon loft
Mammoth pigeons to carry missives or provide a meal for a big family!! For sale.

A new picture for sale.
Visitors for the tower

What unlikely news is being imparted? Probably about Covid and Christmas but, horror, no masks in sight. Oh dear! For sale.
Wonky village
A cheerful if topsy turvy place!
This is a detail.
Dual heritage
A picture found in a random beginning. Maybe they are going home after a long day.
A picture for sale.

The blue hour
Detail from a new picture.
Sort of Sandwich
Not intended (luckily!) to be a true picture of the quaint little town, this detail refers to one of the many churches, the river and boats. I loved my visits to the town and the many characters I met. The wonderful individuals, news and gossip always reminded me of those famous residents of another of the Cinque Ports: Mapp and Lucia and their doings!
Tobermory Challenge
A new painting with a title chosen to suggest terraces of colourful houses! For sale.
The high road and the low road
A detail from a new picture – another colourful piece!
