Focus not great – don’t like new camera! But am in love with Lascaux’s brilliant colours as usual. 30×30 cms on panel. For sale.

Awesome ale here
Maybe the colours resulted from imbibing of the awesome ale!
For sale. 30x30cm, varnished and ready to frame.
Good morning Mr Drogo
A detail from this new painting of a man at a gate. Castle Drogo is an incredibly unlikely building – a 20th century castle overlooking the Teign Gorge in Devon with gardens, views, everything! (The title was too tempting as a steal from Gauguin!)
For sale. 30x30cm, varnished and ready to frame.
End of the prom
A detail from a painting. Resting at the end of the prom where walkers must turn back or be threatened when the tide comes in! 30x30cm panel, varnished and ready to frame.
Pub balcony
One of a series of interpretations of this view. Cheerful – maybe a bit lurid! – inviting for a cooling drink. For sale. 30x30cm panel, varnished and ready to frame.
Can you see what it is yet?
Layers of paint and changes have given the surface as much grit as the average beach! A new abstracted landscape. 30x30cm, varnished and ready to frame. For sale.
Blowing in the wind…
Colours and flowers I love.
All wrapped up
A well-camouflaged lady – with her mask!
For sale.
Landscape in purple and green
A painting completed recently – for sale.
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!
The gardener
Marinegate
In rich dark colours this is a kind of version of the marina at Brighton! It would not recognise itself.
Covering her modesty
Thinks: ‘Oh dear! Maybe this dress is a bit bold.’
A new year – and hope springs eternal…
Time to start choosing which pictures to enter in the digital round of some exhibitions. Which pictures, which exhibitions, how much can I afford?
Hurrah! This one got into the RWS Contemporary Watercolour which opens 2nd March at Bankside, London, through 14th March. (Watercolour is loosely interpreted in this competition!)
Gaza
The day the trees left
Sometimes artwork is disappointing and I threw this one away! But I like the idea and the title and one day will get round to using them again.
Haughty cat
Not this time – I walk away, head held high.
National Open Art competition
Wow! I have been shortlisted for NOA 2017. The second round is later but in the meantime there is the World Art Vote. You can vote for my picture from here.
If you would like to see other shortlisted work, go to this page. You can of course vote for several artists… but please do vote for me!
If I have asked you already elsewhere, sorry!
Not waving
I love this gloomy piece which evolved under my eyes. My visual memory was jerked by the beginnings of the hunched up figure and I found the image I recalled in a book about Gauguin (hero!) with a photo of a Peruvian mummy. I have always loved the poem by Stevie Smith – hence the title.
Maybe all the horrifying stories of drownings in the Mediterranean influenced me as well. We can never know all the subconscious themes.
Image 10×8 inches (25.5×20 cm).
Tower of Fools
The things in my imagined landscapes come from patterns and designs that I ‘find’ as the painting grows. I heard of the Tower of Fools at an exhibition at the Wellcome Foundation a while ago. Image approx. 10×8 inches (25.5×20 cm).
