"Small Forest Painting" 2009, Oil on Ply-wood Board. 9.5" x 13.5" (SOLD)
Inspired by living in the forest in a small cabin with no electricity. Again done for the love of a woman, she didn't take the picture when it all went pear shaped and the relationship ended, so I still own it. Lucky me!
My first and nearly only work in British Columbia. I was very in love with a girl and wanted to paint her a picture as a surprise for when she came back from a business trip. It is meant to be a misty cloudy landscape over a Harbour at dusk here on the small island I live. Just like the mist in the picture the girl disappeared too. ( GONE)
Sunset No. 2 Oil on Canvas- 48"x 48" this photo is only part of the painting. I do not have any other reproductions of this painting.. sorry.
Another large Oil on Canvas of my sunsets over London series. - I did sell it.The rings you see in the picture where inspired by my love of glass stains from beer pints so I used a big garbage can, dipped it into paint and Guinness and ran at the canvas and stamped the painting with this mark. Guinness is not advised as paint product- it goes off and smells! oh well, I had fun.
I painted this after travelling with my mother around Morocco in January, 2005. Size unknown but it is reasonably big- at least 48" by 36" Inspiration was taken from the beautiful town of Essaouira on the coastline of Morocco.
Morocco No.2, 2005- Oil on Canvas, size unknown
Traveling with my mother in Marrakech, Morocco.
Morocco No. 3 2006- Oil on Canvas, size again unknown ( sorry)
My mother and I had a small exhibition in East London with these paintings. Not my most successful exhibition,but I do like the colour and simplicity of these paintings.
Again travelling Morocco. My love of J.M.W. Turner comes out with this one. A kind of Homage I hope rather than me trying to copy his work. Oil on canvas. Size yet again Unknown. I think my parents own one this or I sold it (?)
Early work 1998. Oil on Canvas. 72"x 72" ( 6ft x 6ft)
Sunsets looking out over tower blocks in West London were the inspiration for this painting. Painted with a light wash and then I slapped thick stand oil mixed with Prussian Blue, Burnt umber and finished off with Guinness of a things. I do not recommend using Guinness as an art application as it will go off, smell and probably fade and not be that great for your canvas. I ended up having a mouse eat a hole into this painting, so my mother chopped it up into smaller paintings. I had an exhibition in Somerset in the UK and sold the smaller paintings. I have no photos or documentation of the smaller paintings.
One of my favourite paintings ever, I was living in London. I really like the long fall (autumn) light in the long sunset evenings. My studio at my college was high up and could se panoramic views of West London. I made up a simple image with no real representation of anything, but just a feeling of space. Looking out into the sunset.
More lovely texture, paint scrapped on and brushed off. I really didn't want the paint to look like it came straight from the tube. A success in one way but the light colours look like they are straight from a tube, but I still like this piece. Oil On canvas, again size unknown.
Somerset, The West country of England. Sunset, sunrise, storm? Who knows what I was thinking? Very textured work done very quick. I wanted a very quick looking feeling to the picture.
